Monivong community residents appeal for the government not to use violence in dismantling their homes in the eviction against them.

Ms. Roeun Sokha, a community resident, was beaten by the police until she lost consciousness because she refused to sign papers to leave her home.

She says that two other people sustain head injuries and are also unconscious. Up to now the police blocks the entrances and the roads to the community and bars passengers, journalists, human rights officials, doctors from crossing and interviewing people.

The Ministry of Interior gives an ultimatum to the residents to leave the community by Junly 5th, giving them $300 and a place in Ang Snuol town Kandal province 30 kilometers from Phnom Penh.

Cambodian people are borned to be thrown away and thank to AH HUN SEN regime for making it a reality! These Cambodian people are no more than trash if AH HUN SEN has his way and these Cambodian people would be thrown into a large pit to be buried alive like the mass grave during Pol Pot!

It is schocking to think that being Cambodian people, you are borned with no value whatsoever! How did this happen in the first place?

AH HUN SEN puppet government promoted by the Vietcong never want to give any kind of value to Cambodian people! If the Vietcong dare to give Cambodian people under AH HUN SEN regime any basic human right, then there are over 10 million Cambodian people living in Southern Vietname(Khmer Krom) will have the same right! Folk! The Vietcong clearly understood the danger!

So all AH HUN SEN governmental or Royal Cambodian government policies are carefully engineered by the Vietcong behind the scene! There are many Vietcong double agents in Cambodia to do check and balance to ensure that AH HUN SEN must follow the Vietcong policies to the letter!

For Cambdian people to have any kind of value, AH HUN SEN regime must vanish from the face of the Earth!

Cambodia is now back to the dark society again when people who has monies and power can do everything to the weak and poor. This kind of cosiety is not lasting long. People must rise up for their liberty and freedom. They cannot wait and see one being oppressed by other day per day. The whole Nation must rise up and say enough is enough this evils leaderships. They go back where they have came from and away from Cambodia society.

The biggest problems right now -- is that people are too damn afraid and they're too disconnected. No one wanted to help each besides him or herself. The Khmers people need to fight for the common causes.

That is to stand up to the tyranist, ah Hun Sen or anyone else userpation of your property. The Berlin Wall came down because the German people have a common cause. The Russian became a Democratic country because the people have a common cause. Look what happen to Milosevic and his cronies. Khmers people need to stand up and fight for a change.
