The Honorable John W. Olver
Member of US Congress
Washington, DC. 20515

Dear Mr. Congressman;

On behalf of all the members, especially those Worcester county, of World Cambodian Congress (WCC) - an association of Cambodian-Americans for the promotion of human rights and the rule of law and democracy in Cambodia - We would like to let you know how much we appreciated your support to vote for the House Resolution 533 to put dictator Hun Sen and his collaborators on the war criminal list, and to bring them to justice.

We firmly believe that House Resolution 533 marks an important turning point in modern Cambodian history, as it rightly identifies Hun Sen for what he really is - that is he is a dictator and a cold-blooded murderer. This resolution also finally unmasks the true nature of the State Department inexplicable but consistently pro-Hun Sen policy which significantly contributed to the ongoing tragedy for the Cambodian people since the 1993 UNTAC-sponsored elections.

Finally, this resolution gives a tremendous boost to the hope to all peace- loving Cambodian-Americans and Cambodians living in Cambodia for the first time since 1975, that there is a real possibility for them to be on the road towards real and sustainable peace and freedom that they have been so much longing for.

For that Mr. Congressman, we owe you a deep debt of gratitude. Once again, thank you for your contribution to save Cambodia from Hun Sen's tyranny and for giving the Cambodian people a glimpse of hope for real freedom and dignity.

Sincerely yours

Daravuth Seng
President, World Cambodian Congress-North East chapter
