On Tuesday 15th September, APLE
published a Press Release “FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE” entitled:
“Note of Clarification from APLE”
This was in response to an article that had
appeared in the Cambodia Daily about David Fletcher’s case. Mr Fletcher was
sentenced to 10 years in jail, in 2011, in a secret trail, for the rape of
17year old Yang Dany.
“In 2009, APLE
started an investigation into Mr Fletcher after he was seen behaving
suspiciously towards children. A full investigation was conducted and the
report of that investigation was handed over to the Anti-Human Trafficking and
Juvenile Protection Police. In 2010, the police decided to interview two girls
who had been closely involved with Mr Fletcher. During these interviews, one
girl testified that Mr Fletcher had raped her twice.
As a result of the
testimony made by the victim and a complaint filed by her mother, APLE offered
legal representation to the victim. Mr Fletcher, however, had already left the
country and was in Thailand at the time. He was arrested and detained in
Thailand, but it would take another three years before he would be extradited
to Cambodia. In 2011 Mr Fletcher was tried in absentia in Cambodia. The judge
in this case found Mr Fletcher guilty of rape and sentenced him to ten years imprisonment.”
Using a timeline gleaned from court records, reports
made by APLE and others, and a newspaper article, I will demonstrate that the assertions
made here by APLE are not true. They constitute a deliberate attempt on the
part of APLE to mislead journalists and the public about the true role the NGO
has played in pursuing Mr Fletcher and seeing him jailed without even the
semblance of a fair trial.
June
20th 2010
Journalist Andrew Drummond publishes an article
in which Yang Dany refers to David Fletcher as her ‘sweetheart’, her
‘boyfriend’, her ‘fiance’ and as a ‘good man’.
Are these the descriptions one would expect a
young woman to use when talking about a man who had, according to later
testimony, ‘brutally raped’ her 15
months earlier – on 15th and 22nd March 2009?
The location at which the alleged rapes took
place – Rick’s Bar – did not open until 6 months later!
One week before Mr Fletcher’s arrest, Andrew
Drummond had been provided with no evidence at all by APLE or any other
investigative body that he had raped Yang Dany or been ‘grooming’ girls – the
allegation made by Scott Neeson in Drummond’s article. (Neeson refuses to
provide any evidence in support of his defamatory allegation.)
23rd
June 2010
APLE informs the Department of Anti-Human
Trafficking and Juvenile Protection that APLE has been “watching” Mr Fletcher
since 22nd Jan 2009 on the grounds that the NGO “suspected he
may have sexual relationship with minor girls.”
‘Suspected’ is the key word here.
Despite having been ‘watching’ Mr Fletcher for 17 months, APLE had not,
four days before Mr Fletcher’s arrest in Thailand, come up with any evidence of
inappropriate sexual behavior on Mr Fletcher’s part.
This 17 months of ‘watching’ includes 15th and 22nd
March 2009 - the dates when, it is alleged, Mr Fletcher raped Yang Dany.
An extract from this 23rd June APLE
Report reads:
“On 30 May 2010, Mr Fletcher had built a relationship with a new girl
at Stoeng Meanchey named Yang Dany, aged 17 (according to Residence Book). At
that day he took her to visit Prey Veng. According to questioning, Dany told
that Mr Fletcher was her sweetheart, and he proposed marriage to her by
promising that he would give bride price in the amount of $5,000. On 7th
June Mr Fletcher took some items like glasses, plates, wardrobe to Dany’s house
and stayed there till over midnight without returning.”
This APLE report was written
15 months after Mr Fletcher had supposedly raped Yang Dany! Having allegedly
been raped twice by Mr Fletcher, but having failed to mention this to APLE
during its 17 months of investigation, Yang Dany accompanies him to Prey Veng!
Other than the innuendo inherent in “stayed there till over midnight”
there is no suggestion in this APLE report that Mr Fletcher had had either consensual
or non-consensual sex with his ‘sweetheart’ Yang Dany.
2 days prior to his arrest in Thailand APLE had, by its own admission ( after a “full
investigation”), no evidence of
sexual misconduct on Mr Fletcher’s part.
This is clear in “the report
of that investigation (which) was handed over to the Anti-Human Trafficking and
Juvenile Protection Police”
What APLE did have, however, was evidence that Mr Fletcher, preparing
to leave Cambodia; was giving away all of his possessions – his wardrobe being
given to Yang Dany and her mother. Mr Fletcher was not ‘fleeing to avoid arrest’,
as APLE wishes to characterize his leaving Cambodia.
As Mr Fletcher prepares to leave Cambodia, Andrew Drummond’s article is
still two weeks away from publication.
25th
June 2010
Department of Anti-Human Trafficking and
Juvenile Protection files a report of its own - the subject of which is the
allegation that David Fletcher was “suspected of having sexual
relationships with minors.”
Given that the Anti-Human
Trafficking and Juvenile Protection report was written only two days after it
had received APLE’s report I think it fair to assume that its report relied
heavily on the APLE report.
The outcomes of the Anti-Human Trafficking two
day investigation relevant to the charge of rape are, according to court
documents, as follows:
“A girl named Yang Dany
described that in May 2010, Fletcher tried to get in touch with her and asked
her to go sightseeing with him in Prey Veng province. She revealed that
Fletcher was her boyfriend and that he had asked to marry her by offering her a
dowry of $5,000. The man bought her glasses, plates and wardrobe.”
There is no reference at all in this Anti-Human Trafficking report,
written one day after Mr Fletcher had left for Thailand, that he had raped Yang
Dany twice in 2009. There is no suggestion, in the report that David Fletcher
and Yang Dany had engaged in either consensual or non-consensual sex. The very
worst offence Mr Fletcher could be accused of, on the basis of this Anti-Human
Trafficking report, is that he asked her to go to Prey Veng and offered to
marry her and pay $5,000 bride price.
APLE’s and ‘Anti-Human Tracking’s’ reports, if they are to be
believed, necessitate that 15 months after he had raped her, David Fletcher
asking Yang Dany to go to Prey Veng sight-seeing with him – the young woman who
had, in Andrew Drummond’s article of a few days earlier, described Fletcher as
her ‘fiance’ and as a ‘good man’.
In her many interviews to date with APLE Yang Dany had not mentioned
being raped by David Fletcher.
There has been no opportunity, this past five years, for Yang Dany’s
rape allegation to be tested in court.
Two days after this report was written, David Fletcher was arrested
in Bangkok.
The request made by the Anti-Human Trafficking
Unit on 25th June 2010 reads as follows:
“To continue to work with
APLE to monitor the activities and locate victims for interviews to collect
evidence against the suspect.
To work with the British
Embassy and CEOP organization to collect additional related information and
background of David John Fletcher.
From these observations, to be found in court documents, all of which
I have copies of, certain assumptions can be made:
- APLE, the Anti-Human Trafficking unit, the British Embassy and CEOP
had been working together in hopes of finding evidence of ‘dangerous behaviours
on Cambodian children’ prior to 25th June 2010.
- APLE, the Anti-Human Trafficking unit, the British Embassy and CEOP
had not, as of 25th June 2010 uncovered any evidence at all that Mr
Fletcher had raped Dany, had sex with her or had committed “dangerous
behaviours on Cambodian children.”
- Two days later, in Bangkok, Thai officials, with the assistance of
the British Embassy, arrest David Fletcher.
June 27th,
2010
David Fletcher is arrested in Bangkok. The British Embassy takes
possession of Mr Fletcher’s passport, which it will later destroy – offering 3
different explanations for having done so. (More on this subject in a few days)
24th July 2010
David Fletcher is accused of “sexual carnal
knowledge offense committed on some of children in Cambodia”.
No such evidence had existed 4 weeks previously but now, in the wake
of Andrew Drummond’s 20th June 2010 article, there is sufficient
evidence to warrant Mr Fletcher’s arrest for raping Yang Dany!
What
new evidence had come to light in the previous 4 weeks? Other than Yang Dany’s
declaration that she had been raped 15 months earlier by the man she described
as her ‘fiance’ and under the noses of 4 different investigating bodies
monitoring Fletcher’s activities?
Now, with this chronology in mind,
gleaned from court documents, lets look again at APLE’S 15th Sept 2015
Press Release:
“As a result of the testimony made by the victim and a complaint
filed by her mother, APLE offered legal representation to the victim. Mr
Fletcher, however, had already left the country and was in Thailand at the
time. He was arrested and detained in Thailand.”
APLE confirms here that it played a significant role in pursuit of
Fletcher. Yang Dany insists that APLE asked her and her mother several times if
she had had sex with Mr Fletcher. She told APLE, repeatedly, that the answer
was ‘no’ – later borne out by the medical report declaring her to be a virgin
still.
At the time of Fletcher’s arrest (27th June), Sekun had
not yet told the police that he had raped her daughter, Yang Dany – a young
woman who, one week before his arrest, is on record as describing him as a
‘fiancé’, ‘husband to be’ and ‘good man’!
8th Sept 2010
An 8 page medical report
commissioned by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court regarding Yang Dany's intact hymen
is given to APLE.
From September 2010
onwards, as APLE fought tooth and nail for 3 years to have David Fletcher
extradited from Thailand, Samleang Siela and Thierry Darnaudet knew that Yang Dany
remained a virgin after two alleged rapes.
Though the entire trial
process, conducted in secret in 2013, APLE was prepared to push the rape line,
to insist that rape had occurred, despite compelling medical evidence (including
the testimony of the alleged victim and her mother) that no rapes had taken
place.
In an open court, with the press present and
with David Fletcher present to present a defense, APLE’s case that David
Fletcher has raped Yang Dany would have been a very hard one to argue with any
credibility.
APLE requested that the case be tried in a
closed court.
The secret trial that subsequently took place was,
in itself, illegal:
Mr Fletcher’s right to a public hearing was (and
remains) enshrined in Article 136 of the Cambodian Code of Criminal Procedure:
Article 316. Public Nature
of Trial Hearing and Confidentiality
Trial hearings shall be
conducted in public.
However, the court may
order a complete or partial in-camera hearing, if it considers that a public
hearing will cause a significant danger to the public order or morality.
It is difficult to see how Mr Fletcher’s trial,
held in public, could possibly cause a significant danger to the public order
or morality! A public trial, at which the media (along with Mr Fletcher) were
in attendance would, however, have left APLE with some very awkward questions to
answer – some of which are contained here both explicitly and implicitly; awkward
questions that would raise serious doubts about the credibility and integrity APLE.
A loss of faith in APLE could in turn, adversely affect APLE’s funding.
I am sure that readers will be able to join the
dots.
The Khmer Times has, this morning, published an excellent article that is relevant to Mr Fletcher's case. My apologies to the Khmer Times for 'stealing' it to include here.
ReplyDeleteGroup Finds Judiciary Wracked With Corruption
Khmer Times/Pav Suy and James Reddick Thursday, 17 September 2015 136 views
PHNOM PENH (Khmer Times) –The human rights wing of the International Bar Association has found Cambodia’s judiciary is riddled with problems that corrode citizens’ rights to a fair trial, including widespread graft.
The organization published the results of a series of interviews with lawyers, judges and civil society groups yesterday, finding problems to be widespread. They reported endemic bribery on the part of judges, bailiffs and court clerks, as well as political pressure from members of the government that influences court decisions.
They also describe serious structural problems, like a shortage of courthouses, low pay for judges and a huge gender gap in the representation of women in the courtroom.
Exacerbating the problems, they wrote, are the electoral reforms passed last year, which have ingrained a system in which judges are at the mercy of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) leaders in the Ministry of Justice for their professional survival.
“In a nutshell, our concerns boil down really to one thing,” said Mark Wassouf, a Barrister at London’s Doughty Street Chambers. “That’s the potential that’s contained in all of [the laws] for the government to have undue influence over the judiciary.”
The three laws passed in April last year gave sweeping powers to the Ministry of Justice – and to Minister Ang Vong Vathana – to oversee judges’ appointments and promotions. The minister sits on both the Supreme Council of the Magistracy, which appoints judges, as well as the board responsible for promotions and demotions.
Gov’t Meddling
The tangible impact of the laws is hard to calculate, but political analyst Ou Virak says the laws enshrine the government’s existing meddling in the judiciary.
“Even before the laws were adopted, the government also did the same thing,” he said. "However, the new laws legitimize the government interference in the court system. So the court is not independent form the government.”
According to the report, most judges appointed by the SCM have connections with the government and are affiliated with the CPP. They cited one example of the son of the President of the Phnom Penh Court of Appeal who was appointed a judge at the court in October last year.
Perhaps most troubling, the majority of people interviewed by the researchers said it was common for judges to be “instructed” by members of the government. Those who did not comply, sources reported, are often demoted or sent to provincial courts, where the pay is lower than in Phnom Penh.
The report also cited bribery as a chronic problem, with one group of legal professionals estimating that it was involved in 9 of every 10 court cases in Cambodia.
This may be as a result of the judges’ low pay. As a result of the reliance on bribery, interviewees said that judges are dismissive of lawyers provided by NGOs because they do not give bribes, creating “an inequality of arms” between them and the prosecution.
Ministry of Justice spokesman Chin Malin, who downplayed the report, said issues with bribery were not due to low pay but a “failure of ethics.”
“This report is not different from that of some institutions that always criticize the government,” he said. “It is like the widespread infection from one to the other. It does not acknowledge the achievement of reform and new evolvement of the judicial system.”
This is becoming a very dark time for a lot of people; These people have enjoyed the good life for a very long time; at the expense of the poorest of people; The very people that David Fletcher wanted and did help.
ReplyDeleteAple is responsible for a lot of kids going to sleep hungry, in need of medical attention and with out an opportunity for better education.
Their evil actions may have caused deaths but at the very least, they have shown that they do not care for human life; they care about money. About having a good well paying job and an easy life;
David Fletcher has not enjoyed the easy life; David was about 65 when he went to prison in Thailand, was tortured and forced to live in conditions we would not allow our pets to endure.
Now 70 David is still very much alive; I am sure aple is disappointed by that fact. The result of David's suffering my very well be that all of this crooked and underhanded dealings are coming to the light of day and hopefully the light of justice.
These evil and corrupt people, and especially some employees at both the Thailand and Cambodian British embassies well be exposed for their actions.
The Daily is taking on a very important role is all of this and should be applauded for doing so.............proving that they do care about Cambodia and the corruption that must stop if her people are ever going to enjoy prosperity. I very much look forward to seeing these people stand before their peers and explain why so may people have suffered while they enjoyed the good life.....Wes
Not hard to see why APLE opted for a secret trial and will do whatever is necessary to make sure that there is no re-trial. What a farce!
ReplyDeleteLet me get this straight
ReplyDeleteOn 15th March 2009 David Fletcher brutally raped Yang Dany in a bar that did not open for another six months? This rape in the bar that did not exist was not observed by APLE who at the time had David Fletcher under surveillance.
A week later Yang Dany returned to the bar that did not exist to be raped again, having failed to mention the first rape to APLE - which, she knew, was looking for evidence to use against Fletcher.
Neither of these rapes in the bar that didn't exist resulting in the breach of Yang Dany's hymen.
15 months later, Yang Dany tells Andrew Drummond that David Fletcher is her fiance, her future husband and a good man despite the two brutal rapes that left her hymen intact.
Before leaving the country David Fletcher gives Yang Dany and her mother some of his furniture, in the same month that APLE admits it has no evidence that he has had sex with Yang Dany, either forced or consensual.
A month later Yang Dany accuses her 'fiance' of having raped her twice in the bar that did not exist in March 2009.
In September that year a doctor's report says that Yang Dany is a virgin, her hymen in place after the brutal rapes that took place in the bar that didn't exist whilst Fletcher was under APLE surveillance.
Am I missing something?
no, I don't think you have missed the point at all; David has now been in prison for five years for the things you just described; that's the only thing that's real; Wes
DeleteJames, your tireless work is finally coming to fruition! Perhaps David's conviction will ultimately result in exposure of a corrupt legal system as well as the NGO's that have defrauded many well intentioned people out of their money.
ReplyDeleteKeep up your great work James!!!
Action Pour les Enfants has lost what little credibility it had left. It will be interesting to see which NGOs continue to work with APLE now that the NGO has been comprehensively exposed as a corrupt organisation with no respect for the legal rights of either the victims of sex crimes or those accused of committing them. APLE is a money-making machine that needs to feed sex offenders in one end to be chewed up and turned into dollars that spout out the other end.
ReplyDeleteNot just APLE that has lost all credibility but NGOs that work with APLE including Licadho. A human rights organisation conspiring with APLE to pervert the course of justice! Interesting concept, but hey, this is Scambodia, why am I even a little bit surprised!
ReplyDeleteAnother bullshit rant from Mr Rickets picking and choosing the facts that suit his ends – which is to defend well-known kiddie fiddler ‘Fletch the Letch’.
ReplyDeleteI’m with you 9.23. Why does anyone take this loser cunt seriously?
DeleteSomething is very wrong with people who show hatred to David Fletcher for a crime he didn't commit, but express no contempt to Neeson for taking over 700 children from their families or for APLE for persecuting innocent men!
ReplyDeleteIf Licado's Director Naly Pilorge had any respect for Human Rights she and her not-so-human-rights organization would not have decided to . share a bed with APLE. But then, old buddies (Naly Plorge and Thierry Darnaudet) stick together.
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt in my mind that we will NOT see the justice David Fletcher and those following his case are hoping for. Rather we will see more distractions, NGO press releases and behind doors negotiations how to shut down David Fletcher's case so that he dies in jail.
The NGO profiteers are in bed with most of the press and with the British government. They do not want anyone taking their luxury life from them. I also have my doubts about the media. Given the fact that the only newspaper that I thought would make a difference, namely the Khmer Times fell for the CCF trick to publish a happy CCF dumpsite girl story that would have never made it without Neeson and his CCF reminds me of the press releases put out by the Somaly Mam Foundation. Good to see the Cambodia Daily finally getting interested in this story though.
Dear Anonymous 9.23
ReplyDeletePretty well all the ‘facts’ that make up this blog have been gleaned from court documents and are available to anyone interested in facts; in evidence.
It is when the agreed upon facts are laid out along a time line that it becomes apparent there are holes in APLE’s case that you could drive a Mack truck through. A young woman raped twice in a bar that did not open until 6 months later! Etc.
APLE knew this back in 2011, which is why its lawyers insisted on a close court (secret trial.) And today, in September 2015, it is the lack of credibility in any case APLE could run with now in the Appeal Court that makes the NGO so determined that there will be no appeal. (Join the dots).
In anticipation of this, Mr Fletcher’s lawyer and I have begun preparing a case for the Supreme Court - in which all the evidence I have revealed to date on this blog (plus a lot that that I have not yet revealed) can be heard in an open court.
The facts are based on Fletchers version of events and what Ricketson wants everyone to believe. I sure hope APLE or one of the se NGO's comes out with a big' fuck you' very soon so we can put this shit to bed.
DeleteSupreme Court is the perfect place for this, if the Appeals Court deny him a fair trial. It will expose even more judicial corruption.
DeleteSo you are saying that if the court says no to Flecther - the it is definitely corruption - all because Rickets has tried to sell you a story based on what Fletcher has in his head - do you thin for one minute that Fletcher would of told Rickets that he touched a girl up. wrong!
DeleteLet it go to court where the facts can come out. What are you and APLE afraid of? What Ricketson says is based on court documents and FCO information. Have you read any of this? Show one fact that Ricketson has wrong.
DeleteShow one fact that Flecther is right? You want me to believe a child sex offender?
DeleteFar too many to list. Do you believe the court ordered medical report? Do you believe he was in Thailand when his 'trial' took place? Do you believe that APLE doesn't want a trial because the facts show he is innocent?
DeleteAt the risk of belabouring the point, Anonymous 1.34, these facts have all been gleaned from hundreds of pages of official documents - the entire records of the court proceedings in Cambodia and hundreds of pages of documents acquired though FOI legislation in the UK and other documents relevant to the whereabouts of Mr Fletcher at particular times.
DeleteIn a proper court case I doubt very much that Mr Fletcher would ever have to take the stand since the defence could demonstrate, with these documents alone (and there will be more soon) that, amongst many other things, Mr Fletcher would have to have raped Yang Dany in a bar that did not open until 6 months after the alleged rape took place.
The phones will be running hot today as Aple, Naly Pilorge, Scott Neeson and the Appeal Court judges figure out which is the least damaging course of action to take. I would love to be a fly on the wall. They cant afford a trial that will make them all look like fools. And they cant let Fletcher die in jail now that its pretty fucking clear that he is an innocent man. A rock and a hard place. Welcome to Scambodia, Kingdom of Wonder
ReplyDeleteDer Anonymous 11.31
ReplyDeleteThese 'facts' are not based on Fletcher's version of events. They have all been gleaned from hundreds of pages of (a) court documents and (b) documents acquired through FOI legislation.
The only way that APLE could come out with a big 'fuck you' would be to find in these same documents a timeline different to the one I have presented. If they can, then the differences between the two timelines is precisely what courts are meant to look at and adjudicate.
If APLE is confident that it has facts, evidence and truth on its side, the NGO should be eager to have a fair trial and put to rest, once and for all, conjecture about what did or did not happen in this case.
Dear Anonymous 12.08
ReplyDeleteYes, the Supreme Court is our next destination.
I am left to wonder about David's critics that want him to remain in prison............I wonder what role they had in having put in prison in the first place; I wonder why they are afraid for the truth to come out......why they don't want him to have a fair trial; I wonder if they are involved and running scared; wonder why they cannot make their point with being foul mouthed low lifes; wonder what they are going to do if they are in fact put in prison for their crimes..............people like them would be the first to yell foul if someone they cared about was in prison and innocent but then I wonder if they have ever cared about anyone. Wes
ReplyDeleteMy letter to the Editor of the Cambodia Daily:
ReplyDeleteAs a voluntary legal advisor to David Fletcher’s, I challenge Chea Nara’s assertion that APLE “has never seen or received any evidence that that changed its opinion about the girl's victimization.” This is both misleading and untrue.
On 8th September 2010 APLE received a medical report, commissioned by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court, stating that the alleged victim’s hymen was intact, that she was a virgin, despite having allegedly been raped twice by Mr Fletcher.
Did this medical report not raise any questions at all with APLE’s legal team about the veracity of the alleged victim’s statement to the police regarding her rape?
"This doctor’s report was entered into evidence by APLE in a closed trial in 2011. The judges determined that the alleged victim’s hymen must have grown back.
In November last year I personally handed APLE's lawyer, San Sony, a USB drive that had on it two interviews I had conducted with the alleged victim and her mother. Both asserted in the interview (with 3 other journalists present) that no rape had taken place; that the charges were laid after they had been told that they stood to receive a substantial amount of money in compensation.
If Chea Nara “fully supports that Mr Fletcher…be granted a retrial," why didn’t he instruct San Sony to support Mr Fletcher's application for a retrial so that the alleged victim’s evidence could be tested in court?"
It should come as no surprise that lawyers are liars, but when the lies have resulted in an innocent man's imprisonment, he should go before an attorney's review. The Cambodia Daily has done a great job picking up this story, but where are the other papers?? Are they paid not to publish??
DeleteJames you know a lot more here than you are saying. Can't wait to see what you uncover when you turn over the next rock!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Anonymous 6.17
DeleteAfter a year playing amateur detective, I now have most of the pieces of the jig saw puzzle. Some I have revealed here on this blog, some you may have guessed at and some I will keep to myself for the time being. Suffice it to say that just as I am an amateur detective, so too are many of the people involved in the pursuit, persecution and prosecution of Mr Fletcher also amateurs who have left many clues at the scene of the crime!
The more one looks at this, the more one has to look at the British Embassy.
ReplyDeleteSomeone in the Embassy in Thailand knows exactly what happened to David's passport.
Someone in the Embassy knows some if not all of the people involved in the framing of David.
Someone is the Embassy, perhaps more than one, knows that an innocent man has lingered in prison for five years.
I suspect that they never expected David to ever see the light of day and therefore never bring any of this to the world's attention.
James has discovered just how deep this corruption runs; and it’s very deep.
Scott Neeson may be the head but there are a lot of tails out there, following him blindly; no doubt for the money, and there was a lot of money involved.
David got in the way. His mistake was caring about feeding the kids.
When all of this comes to see the light of day, the British Embassy will not be blameless. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office needs to start correcting this failing.
It is much too late for the Foreign & Commonwealth Office to correct 'this failing'. The time to do so was five years ago in the case of many FCO employees, and at least 9 months ago in the case of Foreign Secretary Phillip Hammond.
DeleteIf he successfully gets David Fletcher out of jail because the allegations were all trumped up, then Human Rights Org. Licado will have a lot to explain. As for APLE, I suggest you take a look at the recent threads at khmer440's David Fletcher thread. The tide is turning slowly, there too.
ReplyDeleteYes, there will be lots of explaining to do. Some very competent spin doctors are going to be required.
DeleteAPLE - The "How To" Business Model that will never put the man
ReplyDeleteresponsible, namely APLE's founder Thierry Darnaudet, in the dock.
The trick works like this:
You found a NGO with local Country Director, a puppet, in charge. The local country director, Samleang Seila will be responsible for everything this NGO does. The man pulling the strings (Darnaudet) though gets away with everything because he doesn't stay in the country and goes out of his way to not seem connected to the organization.\
Years ago when Darnaudet started putting his gangstalking videos on youtube and on TV channels around the world there was at least one English reporter who said "APLE is using questionable methods" to which I might add that they are also "illegal" in most western countries.
This did not prevent from countries like the UK, US, Netherlands, Switzerland actively supporting APLE - whose track record catching western pedophiles seemed just to be too good to be true. (It was too good to be true!)
It's sad to add that most of the Western media were no better. They wrote and broadcast sensational stories that translated into:
CASH.
Cash for Thierry Darnaudet, Samleang Seila and others in APLT including Naly Pilorge.
That tells us a lesson or two about the value of a human being from the
western perspective.
Will Thierry Darnaudet ever be held responsible for his gangstalking,
vigilantism and the destruction of many mixed race families in Cambodia ?
