# 158 CORRUPTION


In 20 years of visiting Cambodia I have not made even a $1 corrupt payment to anyone. As a matter or principle.

I have had many opportunities and there have been times when it would have made my life easier to hand over some money. The most recent was when I was told, via intermediaries, that Mr Fletcher could be released from prison if I (or he) were to pay ‘big money’.

Neither Mr Fletcher nor myself have access to ‘big money’ but even if we did, we would not pay it. As a matter or principal.  The moment you make a corrupt payment, you are part of the problem and cannot claim any sort of high moral ground.

Mr Fletcher told me, on my first visit to PJ prison, that he was going to leave jail an innocent man, having received a fair trial, or feet first. I thought that this was posturing on his part. I was wrong. He means it. When the idea was floated (again, through intermediaries) that he could request amnesty from the King on account of his age (71) and ill health, Mr Fletcher rejected the proposition out of hand.

I have spoken with many prisoners now. They share one thing common. Whether they are innocent or guilty they could get out of jail if they paid ‘big money’. In one instance, ‘big money’ is $250,000.  This prisoner, with a jail sentence in excess of 20 years, is from a First World country and hence deemed to be ‘wealthy’. For the Khmer national accused of the same crime ‘big money’ is $100,000. And I have met one man for whom ‘big money’ was just $10,000. There seems to be a sliding scale depending on nationality and/or wealth of the family of the accused.

None of this will be news to anyone familiar with the Cambodian judiciary. None will be news to Embassies representing countries whose aid donations each year prop up the Cambodian government.

I have, for some time, been planning to write about ‘corruption’ in a broad sense. David Fletcher has beaten me to it. Before quoting from a recent note sent to me, here are some definitions of corruption:

- Dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.

- Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It can be classified as grand, petty and political, depending on the amounts of money lost and the sector where it occurs.

Grand corruption consists of acts committed at a high level of government that distort policies or the central functioning of the state, enabling leaders to benefit at the expense of the public good.

Petty corruption refers to everyday abuse of entrusted power by low- and mid-level public officials in their interactions with ordinary citizens, who often are trying to access basic goods or services in places like hospitals, schools, police departments and other agencies.

Political corruption is a manipulation of policies, institutions and rules of procedure in the allocation of resources and financing by political decision makers, who abuse their position to sustain their power, status and wealth.

It might be useful also to include here a definition for ‘transparency’:

Transparency means shedding light on shady deals, weak enforcement of rules and other illicit practices that undermine good governments, ethical businesses and society at large.

One of the media’s many roles is to expose corruption, dishonesty and malpractice in public life – including dishonesty and malpractice perpetrated by NGOs that engage in other illicit practices that undermine good governments, ethical businesses and society at large.

And, I should add, the media itself can be corrupt, dishonest and engage in its own particular form of malpractice. In short, we in the 4th Estate are also capable of acting corruptly. And when we are, we should be subjected to the same scrutiny as government bodies, public officials, NGOs and others in position of power and influence.

DAVID FLETCHER WRITES:
I am sorry for the ignorant plebs bringing up the subject of the death of your nephew Tom. My thoughts are with you.
The IBAHRI  (International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute) has given us a realistic report on the state of the judiciary system in Cambodia. But, and this is a big but, why is Cambodia this way?  It's like the tired old joke of why does a dog lick it's naughty bits? Because it can! 
The judiciary in Cambodia behaves this way because it can! And whose fault is this?
Western organizations get on their judgmental high horses and condemn corruption, but who started this and who is the biggest contributor?

Governments such as Britain (I am not going to say Great, because the country of my birth no longer is !), America and Australia lead the field! I speak from experience, not fantasy, as a few misinformed bigots on this blog suggest.  According to them my experiences are fantasy. 

It is not fantasy that the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office funds corrupt NGOs and is complicit in unlawful acts.
Why does the IBAHRI not go further?  Why criticize only Cambodia?   You only have to examine the agendas of NGOs like APLE and CCF to see why this complicity exists. Please go further IBAHRI. The Cambodian judicial system would not be this way if it were not funded by but instead was shunned by rich countries. My experience is not unique to Britain, as I talk with many foreigners  here in jail who have had similar experiences with their own governments. The British embassy in Bangkok had me illegally arrested in June 2010.  In the UK this would be classed as kidnapping. 
The FCO was and still is complicit with corrupt NGOs as they break the law, not only local laws but international laws and human rights. This is not Cambodia’s fault.
The FCO has lied, given deliberate misinformation, complicit with perverting the course of justice and appeasing unlawful acts. This is not Cambodia’s fault.
 The FCO has destroyed court evidence of my innocence.  This is not Cambodia’s fault.
The list is endless and I will not bore you with it. But if ever the pot was calling the kettle black, this is it!
The British government and FCO have worked against me for five and half years  just as much, if not more than the corruption in the Cambodia judiciary system as stated in the IBA report. 
So who is the biggest contributor?
Before the KKK mob put on their pointy hate Fletcher anonymous white hats, I can prove everything I say, as all my statements.
David Fletcher

I can assure readers that on the basis of documents provided by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office itself (through Freedom of Information) the FCO has (a) done nothing at all to defend Mr Fletcher’s right to a fair trial and (b) assisted in his pursuit and arrest in Thailand in June 2010 and perverted the course of justice by destroying his passport. It there is ever a court case in the United Kingdom, the FCO would have a lot of questions to answer – the honest answer to which would result in heads rolling in high places.

  1. David and I have been friends since our first meeting in 1983 while I was visiting London.
    At that time we agreed to do some business transactions which lead to over 18 years of projects. All were done on a handshake; no contracts were ever signed between us; not one time did I feel as if David was not 100 percent honest in every project we completed.
    David has been honest with me at every turn of our friendship and I have believed him to be an innocent man from the beginning of this ordeal;
    I continue to believe that what David and James have uncovered in this corrupt country will eventually shed light on a lot of dishonest officials as well as western people going to Cambodia to engage in underhanded dealings...........of which David has become a victim;
    David and I always talked on Sunday mornings/my time and he was always excited to tell me of the kids he had fed and helped..........it brought much joy to him to share how he cared for these poor children.
    David was also very much in love at that time and was quick to tell me about her.
    After his arrest in Thailand, David shared with me that he had done nothing wrong and I believed him then and I believe him now.
    If David did anything wrong, it was that he underestimated how far the people he offended by actually helping the children would go to destroy him..........until his arrest that is.
    I have stood by my friend for 5 years and will continue to stand by him; What ever happens, no one can give back all the help he would have provided the children these past five years..............they are the ones who are suffering as much as David; The crime is against David and the children...........he would have given them thousands of meals by now.........meals what just might have given them the strength to help themselves and others to get out of the dump.
    Scott Neeson, Aple, the British Embassy in Thailand and Cambodia, FCO and anyone who played a part in all of this are guilty of crimes beyond framing an innocent man................One day we all have to stand responsible for our actions here on this Earth; When that time comes, I hope God shows more mercy on them than they showed on these children and the people who attempted to help them. Wes.

  2. I met David through his business venture with Wes, so I, too, have known David for 32 years. Wes' description of David is very accurate. David became a very dear family friend to my extended family. He also became friends with many of my friends. He was well-liked by everyone who met him. At first, I could not understand why some people in Cambodia would fabricate a lie and pursue an illegal trial to send an innocent man to prison for 10 years. I think I know one of the main reasons now. David has very little tolerance for drunks, liars and people who pretend to be something they are not. He is also outspoken. After reading some of the comments on Mr. Ricketson's blogs, it is apparent that Cambodia has more than its share of those types of people. That, together with the rampant overall corruption in Cambodia and Scott Neeson's jealousy of David's charitable work and APLE's need to justify their donations, resulted in his false imprisonment.

    I think I know David as well as anyone. Over the years, David, and sometimes his children, have spent many weeks visiting my husband and me and our children and grandchildren. My family and I have also visited David in England. We also have taken a number of two and three week vacations together, both in the US and abroad.

    David is a very loyal and caring man who is known to help others. When he discovered the children at the dump, he felt like he had found his calling and planned to devote the rest of his life to helping those poor children and their families. In David's case, the crime is that he was not allowed to fulfill this dream. Karma has already hit some of the corrupt parties to his imprisonment, and the others should beware. Mary

  3. No man is innocent. Only guilty or not guilty of the crimes with which he has been charged.

    Anyone who thinks he knows what goes on behind the closed doors of another man's sex life is a fool. If you weren't there, you don't know. Just ask Jerry Sandusky's family and friends.

    While it is honorable and laudable to stand by a friend, it can never be more than that - standing by a friend.

    James writes: "They share one thing (in) common. Whether they are innocent or guilty they could get out of jail if they paid ‘big money’." And he is, no doubt, right about that. Guilty or not guilty, the corruption works the same, perhaps even favoring the guilty, and so really says almost nothing about one's guilt or lack thereof. And in the meantime, what is to be done about rapists and pedos in Cambodia? Assume they're guilty when found not guilty, and not guilty when found guilty? Of course not. Believe friends' declarations of disbelief in the guilt the accused? Sweet, but naive. Put our faith in one lone activist promising he knows better and standing against not only the Cambodian judiciary, but pretty much all of of the western associated media, embassies and anti-trafficking NGOs? That would probably be more an indication of one's loyalties and prejudices than truth. So what are we in the peanut gallery to do? Perhaps, just perhaps be swayed by an accessible, verifiable, peer reviewed, meticulously documented independent investigation, which, to date, in the case of Fletcher, we do not have.

    1. Indeed, Mornon

      What is required is a "verifiable, peer reviewed, meticulously documented independent investigation". This is what a trial should be.

      Mr Fletcher has had no trial that comes anywhere close to meeting these criteria.

      The lack of a trial in a country like Cambodia does not mean that there is nothing that can be done to assist those charged with a crime who have been denied a trial. Ineffective though it can certainly be, the media can play a significant role in bringing cases such as Fletcher's to the attention of people who do have the power to do something. This is one of the roles of the media and there are many examples from around the world in which media attention has resulted in re-trials and the acquittal of the accused.

      In this instance, who can be influenced and to what end?

      (1) David Fletcher was found guilty not just of raping Yang Dany but of 'grooming' young girls. The prime mover of this 'grooming' allegation was/is Scott Neeson. If Scott were to say today, "I have no evidence that Mr Fletcher was grooming young girls," this would be news (even the Phnom Penh Post and Khmer Times would probably publish it) and could swing some significant public opinion around to the idea that Mr Fletcher deserves a fair trial. Alternatively, if Scott Neeson does have evidence Mr Fletcher 'groomed' young girls he could admit to this, provide the information/evidence he has to the relevant Cambodian authorities and have a clear conscience when Mr Fletcher dies in jail.

      (2) Naly Pilorge, Dircector of LICADHO likewise claims to have evidence that Mr Fletcher is guilty of rape. She has not shared this evidence with Cambodian authorities. Like Scott Neeson, Ms Pilorge has defamed Mr Fletcher. If she were to retract her claim to have evidence of his guilt this too, coming from the head of LICADHO, could help crate an atmosphere in which a fair trial for Mr Fletcher would seem to be a good idea. Of course, if Ms Pilorge really does have evidence of Mr Fletcher's guilt she could provide it to the relevant authorities and have a clear conscience when the next phase of this drama plays itself out.

      Both (1) and (2) would involve Neeson and Pilorge with a considerable amount of egg on their faces, of course, and both may feel that Mr Fletcher's death in jail is preferable to being professionally embarrassed.

      (3) The media could also assist in getting Mr Fletcher a fair trial by, in this instance, asking both Neeson and Pilorge to either produce their evidence or retract their statements. And in asking APLE the kinds of questions I have been asking on this blog and publishing what they discover. The 17 day gap between Mr Fletcher’s arrest in Thailand (no charges laid) and Yang Dany’s announcement that she was raped 15 months previously, needs to be closely examined. How much pressure was applied by APLE to Yang Dany during these 17 days to transform Mr Fletcher from her ‘fiance’ to her rapist?

      ...to be continued...

    2. I realize that David is not in America but in America an accused is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law; judged by his peers, defended by a Lawyer; the State must prove beyond a reasonable doubt the persons guilt. they are charged to do this by presenting evidence of proof of a persons guilt; David was not afforded this in Cambodia; Therefore in my mind he is innocent of the charges of rape; consider this naïve or not, I stand by the principles of this Great Nation and believe that David was not given a fair trial; therefore my Friend is innocent of the charges and has spent five years as a prisoner of a corrupt system..............Wes

    3. You are right, Wes. Not only in accordance with US law, but in accordance with Cambodian law, Mr Fletcher should be considered innocent until proven guilty.

      That this presumption of innocence plays no role in Cambodian courts is something to be expected in one of the most corrupt countries in the world. What is not expected, is that virtually none of those whose role it is to advocate Mr Fletcher's right to a fair trial, have done so.

      Two of Cambodia's leading human rights organisations (LICADHO and ADHOC) have not only remained silent;they have both failed to send anyone to court to observe the clear lack of due process that has pervaded each of Mr Fletcher's appearances. On top of this, Naly Pilorge has made it clear, in writing, that she believes Mr Fletcher to be guilty. She will not share the evidence she has in support of this proposition with anyone.

      The same applies for the British Embassy in Cambodia. It has refused, as a matter of principle, to attend any court hearings. The FCO, through its destruction of evidence (Mr Fletcher's passport) and the role it played in helping organise Mr Fletcher's arrest in Thailand in June 2010, has revealed itself as a body with no interest in advocating Mr Fletcher's right to a fair trial.

      The list goes on and on. Mr Fletcher has experienced trial by Khmer440, trial by Scott Neeson, trial by Naly Pilorge, trial by FCO, trial by media but never a trial in a properly constituted court. That none of those mentioned here feel under any obligation to support Mr Fletcher's right to a fair trial only goes to show how deeply corrupt they all are. Their commitment to legal and human rights is contingent. It does not, in their view, apply to Mr Fletcher. History will not judge them kindly.

      Delete
  4. ...continuing...


    (4) The UK's Foreign Secretary, Mr Phillip Hammond, could instruct his senior ambassadorial staff to stop doing all they can to prevent Mr Fletcher from receiving a fair trial and start to act as advocates for his right to a fair trial. Again, this would involve some professional embarrassment, some egg on the faces of senior FCO officials but perhaps Mr Hammond might see this as preferable to seeing a 71 year old man die in jail who was never given an opportunity to present a defense in court.

    (5) Steve Morrish, of SISHA, could likewise reveal that (a) he either had (and has) evidence of Mr Fletcher's guilt or that he was pursuing Mr Fletcher on the basis of scuttlebutt, rumour and innuendo. Steve Morrish, like Neeson and Pilorge, chooses to maintain an undignified silence. A fair trial in which Mr Fletcher was found to be innocent would be professionally embarrassing to Steve Morrish and he too might think it best to allow Mr Fletcher to die in jail.

    (6) CEOP could likewise reveal either (a) that this British investigative body found clear evidence that Mr Fletcher raped Yang Dany or (b) that it found no evidence. If the latter be the case this, in conjunction with Neeson and Pilorge’s retracting of their allegations, could be of assistance to Mr Fletcher in his quest for a Supreme Court hearing that is not just a repeat of the other hearings he has had to endure – in which he has not been allowed to present evidence in his defense and has been denied even the opportunity to address the court.

    (7) The Cambodian government. My appeals to the Minister for Justice to allow Mr Fletcher the right of Appeal (which had previously been denied him) resulted in an Appeal being held but rejected (at the request of APLE) on the grounds that Mr Fletcher did not get certain paper work to the courts in time. It may be that another appeal to the Minister might assist Mr Fletcher in receiving a fair hearing at the Supreme Court. We shall see.

    So, there are things that can still be done.

    As for "what can be done with the pedos who come to Cambodia, the answer is not just to jail anyone who seems to fit the pedo profile. The job of catching these men should be left to properly paid and trained Cambodian police and not outsourced to for-profit NGOs such as APLE whose continued existence, via funding and sponsorships, is dependent on a constant stream of convictions.

    There will be no improvement in the state of policing in Cambodia, or in the quality of the work done by the Cambodian judiciary, until the government decides to get serious about stopping corruption. Until such time all that can be done by those wrongfully accused of crimes is to pay up as soon as possible to extricate themselves from jail. Those who do not pay up, who cannot pay up, provide a good example to others confronted by a legal dilemma similar to that of Mr Fletcher with an example of what NOT to do - namely rely on the Cambodian judicial system to arrive at the truth.

    As for my “standing against not only the Cambodian judiciary, but pretty much all of the western associated media, embassies and anti-trafficking NGOs” are you presuming, Mornon, that because all of these people and institutions present a united front, that they must be right? That Mr Fletvher must be guilkty? That Mr Fletcher has no right to a fair trial?

    All of those you mention here should be advocating the right to a fair trial for all men and women accused of crimes - a right that should extend to everyone, regardless of whether they are 'likeable' or not.

    Interestingly, all those whom you mention agree that Khmer men and women charged with genocide (the evidence against them being very strong) are nonetheless entitled to a fair trial. Why should these people be entitled to a fair trial and men and women like Mr Fletcher not be?

  5. Dear Scott

    In June 2010, speaking as a respected NGO, you told journalist Andrew Drummond that Mr David Fletcher was grooming young girls.

    If this statement was false, it was clearly defamatory and in any country in which the rule of law applied, you could have been sued.

    If this statement was true, you should have provided evidence of it to the relevant Cambodian authorities. You did not.

    Your comment, spread world wide, played a significant role in the events that followed. A week after you suggested that Mr Fletcher be 'sent packing', he was arrested n Thailand at the request of Cambodian authorities and with the complicity of the British embassies in Cambodia and Thailand.

    No charges were laid by Thai authorities and it would take another 17 days before APLE could manage to convince Yang Dany that she and her mother should accuse Mr Fletcher of rape. WIth $30,000 on offer it is not all that surprising that Yang Dany and her mother acted as they did.

    By mid September you, along with Steve Morrish (SISHA), CEOP, APLE and the British Embassies of Cambodia and Thailand knew that Yang Dany was a virgin and that it was highly unlikely that she had been raped. And yet not one of you even so much as suggested that Mr Fletcher at least be granted a fair trial. You,along with the others mentioned here, turned a blind eye to what you knew to be a miscarriage of justice.

    More than five years later you remain silent. You will neither retract your comment about Mr Fletcher grooming young girls or provide evidence to anyone that he was doing so. Your silence speaks volumes about the mind of person you are. Yes, you can use Facebook to present a certain image of yourself to the world. Yes, you can have your photo taken with the Dalai Lama and hang out with Hollywood celebrities, but these exercises in the marketing of Scott Neeson will count for nothing when Mr Fletcher dies in jail and the question is asked of you, "Why did you not retract your statement or provide evidence to the Cambodian authorities?"

    My latest blog but one and the comments that follow it speak volumes about the person you really are:

    http://cambodia440.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/157-open-letter-to-scott-neeson-re-yang.html

    Evidence please, Scott, or a retraction.

  6. Even if it is not Yang Dany in the the photo WTF is a middle aged man who looks stoned on something doing clutching a teenage Khmer girl less than half his age? If a photo like this emerged of David Fletcher with a teenager it would be seen by all the trolls that hang out here that Fletcher earned his moniker "Fletch the Letch."

    2. If this is Yang Dany she sure as hell doesn't look like a child or like she
      as being taken advantage of. Whatever is going on between her and Neeson she is up for it.

      Delete
    3. If this does happen to be a photo of Yang Dany it pre-dates 14th July 2010. It predates Yang Dany’s accusation that David Fletcher had raped her 15 months beforehand.

      Given that Yang Dany was declared by a doctor two months later (Sept 2010) to be a virgin still, I think it fairly safe to assume that, as with David Fletcher, Scott Neeson’s relationship with her was non-sexual.

      One has to be very careful, very cautious, about reading too much into any one photo, but photos can, at the very least, give rise to questions. If a photo of a man swimming five feet away from a fully clothed pre-teen Khmer girl at the Water Park (Matt Harland) can raise questions about what he is up to and be presented by APLE in court as evidence of his guilt, so too is it fair to ask questions of this photo of the kind that would be asked in a properly constituted court if, indeed, this is Yang Dany.

      The same applies for the countless photos of Neeson with young girls.

      Why did Neeson pose for this photo? Why did he allow 17 year old Dany to snuggle up to him in this this way? Who initiated the hug? Neeson or Dany? If the photo was taken around the time Neeson was offering to give Dany and her mother $600 was Dany hoping that a little more flirting would yield a better financial result than $600? Was Neeson offering her and her mother more financial help if they were to accuse Mr Fletcher of rape?

      I am sure this comment will be met with the by now familiar howls of protest that I should not be publishing a photo of a vulnerable child. Does Dany look like a vulnerable child being taken advantage of (the accusation thrown at David Fletcher)? Or does she look like a young woman who is well aware of what she is doing and willingly engaging in a hug with Neeson?

      In a properly constituted court of law, given the role that both Neeson and Yang Dany played in David Fletcher being arrested in Thailand, this photo could (and almost certainly would) be introduced as an exhibit by the defense. Both the prosecution and defense lawyers would have an opportunity to ask Neeson and Yang Dany about the photo. This is as it should be.

      Without a fair trial there can be no determination of whether this photo is significant or irrelevant. The same applies for all the other evidence that the prosecution and defense may wish to introduce into the proceedings.

      It all comes back to, down to, Mr Fletcher’s right to a fair trial. Is he entitled to one or not?

      No convincing argument has yet been presented that a trial held in-camera, with Mr Fletcher absent and unable to present a defense, was in accordance with the Cambodian Code of Legal Procedure. Justifying a secret trial on the grounds that Yang Dany was a vulnerable child in 2011 is a very feeble reason presented by those who, for a variety of reasons, do not want Mr Fletcher to receive a fair trial.

    4. "Why did Neeson pose for this photo? Why did he allow 17 year old Dany to snuggle up to him in this this way? Who initiated the hug? Neeson or Dany?"

      Where did you get the image? Is it uncropped? Were there other photos from the same set? The answers to these question might help answer these other questions about what's going on in the photo.

      Looks like he is wearing paper ring necklaces, the sort made by young school kids. Perhaps a kids party or a school event or a public event of some sort? Perhaps the kids presented him with the necklaces or something to that effect.

      Anyway, where did you get the photo?

      Delete
    5. Photo sent to me anonymously. There was only one. The sender told me this was Yang Dany and thought I'd be interested. There was no note re when the photo was taken. Yes, the paper chain around Neeson's neck suggests a kids party of some kind.

  8. The list of people who are corrupt in Cambodia (and others) is huge! Where all of these people abused as children or were they raised in institutional care? What is it that could make them so devient that they care about no one other than themselves? Did they never have family that cared about them? Yes Neeson is clearly one of these devient! His lies about Fletcher is only his training ground! His lies about gifting homes to the impoverished, his locking out an impoverished family because they were $12.50 behind on their rent, him taking over 700 children from their families.....what a scoundrel! How was he raised??

    1. I have never met Scott Neeson.

      I can't think of anyone on the face of the planet that I hate.

      Neeson's involvement in the illegal removal of children from their families is what drew my attention to him at the outset. Neeson's involvement in the pursuit and persecution of Scott Neeson is what brought him to my attention a second time around.

      More by chance than by design I then discovered that he is involved in various scams- the most recent of which is the World Housing one.

      With his 'connections' Neeson is untouchable. But then, so too was Somaly Mom for many years after it was common knowledge that she was a liar.

      One day, either soon or later, history will reveal that I have either been wasting my time and barking up the wrong tree, or that Neeson is a fraud on a much greater scale than Somaly Mam.
