The United Nations second report into human rights abuses in Cambodia since last

July details 42 killings, 20 injuries and five disappearances, most of which the

report says can be traced to government employees.

The report criticizes the lack of investigation, particularly where there have been

numerous witnesses and suspects identified.

Below is an edited version of the report, divided into four sections. The first deals

with allegations that Funcinpec loyalists executed government soldiers during the

July coup; the second, an update on the August 21 memorandum that details political

killings following the coup; the third, further cases of summary executions since

the first memorandum; the final section with disappearances.

Appended to the report is an evaluation of the investigations to date. This assessment

was conducted by two experts: Arun Bhagat, former director of the Indian Intelligence

Bureau and Professor Peter Burns, Queen's Counsel from Canada and a member of the

United Nations Committee Against Torture. A page of the report appears to be missing

from the King's version and this is noted in the two cases it relates to in the text.

SECTION 1

1. 15 Government soldiers: Allegedly arrested on July 5, detained at Taing Krasaing

and executed by Funcinpec forces the following day. The center interviewed witnesses

and saw a video of the interrogation of four of the soldiers. None of the witnesses

saw the soldiers tortured or executed, though one of the video tapes shows a prisoner

being kicked once during questioning.

The report says none of those people shown on the video have since been found, nor

have the others believed to have been detained at the same time.

SECTION 2

2. Gen Chao Sambath and Gen Krouch Yoeum, both senior Funcinpec officers. Their bodies

were found on Oct 8 in Udong, identified by dental records and papers found on one

of them. Witnesses said the men were executed by paratroopers from Regiment 911 on

July 7. Details were given in the earlier memorandum.

3. Col Seung Sovanna and Lt Col Sun San, executed on July 7. They had heard radio

broadcasts saying that surrendering Funcinpec soldiers would be re-integrated into

the armed forces with no loss of rank. They gave themselves up and were taken to

Phnom Penh University for interrogation, then executed. The bodies have not been

recovered but identification has been made based on eyewitness accounts and ID papers

found at the scene.

4. Correction over a victim's identity. A man initially identified in the August

memorandum as Chao Keang was said to have been executed with three other men. The

victim was actually Chao Kong (or Kung), Chao Keang's brother. Chao Keang is alive.

5. Two people listed as missing found alive. Maj So Lay Sak and Maj Chin Vannak were

listed as missing in the August memorandum, they have since been located alive.

SECTION 3

say the two were driven by soldiers to the place of execution in a white pickup truck

with military plates, and each shot once in the ear. Both men were initially buried

in shallow graves, though villagers say they dug one up and threw the body down a

disused well. A partial exhumation of the remaining body confirmed reports that the

victims were tied up before being killed. Both men were affiliated with Funcinpec.

Yuth Yoeng - have not been located.

the one he later threw at people taking the injured to the hospital did, killing

Sdok and Thy and injuring five others. All the victims were affiliated to Funcinpec.

call asking him to come into the office for a meeting half an hour before he was

stop one of Sang's relatives from applying heart massage. After his death Sang's

wife was visited by police who warned her not to file a complaint with any organization
