Hok Lundy

Hok Lundy

General Hok Lundy, also transliterated as Hok Lundi and Hoc Lundy (born 1950), is the National Police Commissioner of Cambodia since 1994, and the former governor of Svay Rieng Province. He is linked to Hun Sen, the current Prime Minister, whom he met in Vietnam in 1979: during the 1997 military coup, he commanded troops loyal to Hun Sen; as well, his daughter, Hok Chindavy, is married to one of Hun Sen’s sons, Hun Manit.

In the aftermath of the 1997 coup, Funcinpec officials accused Hok Lundy of ordering the attempted murder of Prime Minister Norodom Ranariddh; that same day, Hok Lundy accused Funcinpec of plotting the assassination of Hun Sen, vice-Prime Minister Sar Kheng, and himself.

In February of 2006, Hok Lundy was denied a visa to visit the United States due to suspicion of involvement in drug trafficking and human trafficking [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/17/AR2007041701771.html?nav=rss_nation/special] ; in March 2006, he was awarded a medal by the FBI for his efforts in fighting terrorism, and in 2007, he was granted a visa so that he could attend counterterrorism talks [http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/dpb/2007/apr/83142.htm] .

Heng Pov, a former police chief in Phnom Penh, has accused Hok Lundy of involvement in over 70 deaths, including those of several high-profile Cambodian figures [http://www.ahrchk.net/statements/mainfile.php/2006statements/713] ; in return, Hok Lundy accused Heng Pov of involvement in several other murders, including that of a judge.

Human Rights Watch describes Hok Lundy as "represent(ing) the absolute worst that Cambodia has to offer", and says that "aside from his boss, Prime Minister Hun Sen, there is hardly anyone in Cambodia who has shown more contempt for the rule of law than Hok Lundy" [http://hrw.org/english/docs/2007/04/16/usint15717_txt.htm] .
