Armed authorities are being deployed in a mountainous area in Koas Kralor, Battambang province, searching for an Oknha, a wealthy merchant being abducted by a group of masked men. It is not known whether the kidnapping is a case of ransom or grudges.
Forty seven-year old San Chorn was kidnapped by 7 men from his cattle farm Monday, say military police officers and Battambang authorities.
Battambang military police commander Poa Vannak says that he is not sure about the nature of the kidnapping, and that his unit is investigating.
Latest information says that the abductors demand $300,000 but authorities do not want to comment for the victim's safety.
In another development, prison security guards disperse local NGOs members gathering in front of PJ prison, when those people set free some birds Tuesday, to mark the first anniversary trial of two men who are being detained . They are asking authorities to free Mr. Sok Sam Oeun, and Mr. Born Samnang, wrongfully accused of killing labor union leader Chea Vichea in 2004.
President of Cambodian Independent Teachers' Association Rong Chhun says that former Phnom Penh police commissioner Heng Pov was in charge of Mr. Chea Vichea's case. Heng Pov is being searched for crime involvements.
In another development, Pursat provincial police officials found about 50 leaflets Monday night criticizing Prime Minister Hun Sen for the death of former Khmer Rouge commander Ta Mok, for having plans to make the Khmer Rouge genocidal regime unimportant, and do away with the remaining living former Khmer Rouge leaders.
In another development, Cambodia joins the world in breast feeding day August 1-7. In Cambodia 1 child in 12 children dies before he/she reaches his or her 5th birthday.

As the wealth gap grows larger between the very poorest and richest, one can only hope that Cambodia will not become another Latin Country like Colombia or Mexico where kidnap for randsom is very common.
hahahah! Tell me who else kidnap the tycoon beside AH HUN SEN corrupted officials?
Tell me who allowed to carry gun in Cambodia beside the corrupted policemen and the criminals?
In Cambodia the police are paid so low and they can't even support their family and so when the criminals do something they tend to look the other way! Well actually Cambodian police are working with the criminals. Most of the time after the criminals are in custody of the police and the police send them to the court and the criminal just paid the court to get out! The very next day the criminals can be on the street doing the same thing with no fear for anything! This is a revolving door justice!
So just asked AH HUN SEN and I will bet he knows where OKnha San Chorn! AH HUN SEN and the corrupted Cambodian officials know Cambodia like the back of their hand otherwise they will be overthrown from power overnight! ahahah!
