Our camera follows officials of Prince Ranariddh's Funcinpec party as they are secretly smuggled out of the country. After a dash to the airport by car, Funcinpec Head of Security Hong Dar waits nervously as his false papers are checked by airport officials. Like many others denied assistance by foreign embassies in Cambodia's latest crisis, this is his only way out, convinced he'll be tortured and assassinated if he stays. Another fleeing Funcinpec official, his face disguised, tells how Hun Sen's soldiers came to his house and shot his wife. He too is smuggled out the same way. Surrounded by security guards, Hun Sen states he has "no regrets" in using force to oust rival Prince Ranariddh. Press reporters asking unpalatable questions are quickly shoved out of the crowd. Senior Funcinpec member Ung Huot admits Hun Sen approved his appointment as new First Premier. He promises free elections despite suspicions he's merely a puppet of the CPP. Can Kim lost two children when a shell hit her home. Her youngest child, still wounded, strokes her mother's face as she weeps. Human Rights Lawyer Brad Adams says Funcinpec fears are well founded.
