Dozens of Buddhist monks joined a demonstration Tuesday to demand more religious freedom of a minority ethnic group living in Vietnam.
The demonstration, organized by the Khmer Kampuchea Krom for Human Rights Organization, was held outside the Vietnamese Embassy in Phnom Penh and coincided with the start of the three-day official visit of Vietnam President Nguyen Minh Triet.
Recently, Vietnamese authorities defrocked nine monks belonging to the ethnic group after the monks reportedly asked for religious and literary freedoms and the return of ancestral land, upsetting activist groups in Cambodia.
More than 100 police armed with electric prods and AK-47s dispersed demonstrators, calling the assembly illegal.
Opposition party legislator Keo Remy, meanwhile, said the demonstration should push Vietnam to consider more religious freedoms for the Khmer Kampuchea Krom people, more than 1 million of whom live in the Mekong Delta region of Cambodia's neighbor.
Nearly 1,000 schoolchildren waving Cambodian and Vietnamese flags greeted the president, who is expected to meet with King Norodom Sihamoni, Senate leader Chea Sim, National Assembly President Heng Samrin and Prime Minister Hun Sen.

I am so proud of all the Khmer Krom Buddhist Monks who stood up against the injustice of Ah YOUN Yiek Kong. There is a Japanese saying that goes: "Even if there are a million foes, in the name of justice, I go." What is so weird about the f*cking Cambodia is that Ah Hun Sen's security forces are still intimidating the Khmer Krom Buddhist monks. God, this bothers me alottttt. If Ah Hun Sen wants to protect the interests of Ah YOUN Cong Cak so much, let him go live in Hanoi. I am so disgusted at this YOUN's slave called Ah one-eyed butcher of the Khmer people. Of all the various Khmer groups, none has the courage and pride exhibited by the Khmer Krom people. You name it. Khmer Surin group does not even close to being a Khmer. F*ck all ah youns who threaten the natural god-give rights of the Khmer Krom people.
we welcome the chinese who become genuine khmers , live by khmer culture and law, but we have no mercy for those yuons who never integrate but only comes to serve their yuon country interest back home like hok landi, kong triv, sok kong cak.
watch out, you fucking assholes, we are having enbough, you are goin to swim back home soon.

Agreed with the Chinese we become
khmers, but not ah khmer-yuon like
you becomes khmers.
Shut up all the swearing! you guys are so Bias and prejudice toward what you call "youn". There might be some other factors behind this incidence. It is right to protect your citizen but it is not right to using terrible judgement to another country. It just makes you look stupid, uneducated and low.
