An opposition party activist in Bantey Meanchey province said Monday he fears for his life, after the court summoned him for his involvement in a land dispute.

Math Yuy, recently elected chief for the Sam Rainsy Party, said he was worried about his safety because he led a group of people to build huts on a piece of land in order to prevent a land grab. He said he needs a lawyer.

Former commune chief Khin Soh said he told the villagers not to build huts, but they did not listen.

    I believe all officers that pull
    this off should be promoted. That
    is if we can afford to do so
    because without their sacrifices
    ad devotions to our country, the
    drug industry will certainly to
    keep us in poverty forever. Long
    Beach, CA is a good example of
    this. Those gringoes' slaves will
    be slave forever. Don't expect
    to see any change in that area
    of the world in the next few
    hundreds years or so.

    Ooopsieee ... wrong post. It was
    meant for the above topic.

    Anyway, there is nothing to fear
    here. If you own any land
    illegally, just returned it to
    the state and done with it.
