No Punishment for Diamond Bridge 'Accident': Hun Sen
Phnom Penh Monday, 29 November 2010
Chun Sakada, VOA Khmer
“I would like to inform our countrymen that nobody must receive punishment in an accident.”
Prime Minister Hun Sen said Monday that no officials will be punished for the Diamond Bridge stampede, which the government now says killed 351 people last week.
“This was a joint mistake that nobody expected,” Hun Sen said in a public speech at the inauguration of a government building. “I would like to inform our countrymen that nobody must receive punishment in an accident.”
A government investigative committee issued it final decision on Monday, claiming the incident was caused by panic when festival-goers thought the swaying suspension bridge would collapse. No authorities have been singled out for the incident.
