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.
