Thursday 19 April, 2007- Incoming reports direct from Kampuchea-Krom minutes ago have has revealed that over three hundred protestors are currently conducting a peaceful protest against Vietnam in Sway Tong, Prek Reussey (renamed Can Tho) province, Vietnam. Listen to RFA coverage of this event in Khmer.
False promises by Vietnamese authorities to resolve land issues have sparked anger and yet another massive protest as hundreds of Khmer Krom people head to Prek Reussey.
According to the source, attempts by protestors to travel to Can Tho by cars and buses were effectively halted by Vietnamese police.
Forced into yet the same predicament as the previous protest on 8 February 2007, the Khmer Krom people have once again marched bare footed to Can Tho determined to resolve the land confiscation issues.
One of the victims of the land confiscation is Mr. Chau Son and wife is Neang Yea from An Cu Commune, Tinh Bien District, An Giang Province.
Mr. Chau Son has attempt numerous times to reclaim his land after being confiscated by Vietnamese authorities during the 1970s by filing the complaints but have been repeated rejected.
According to another victim, Mr. Chau Inh, Vietnamese authorities had threatened to take action if he continued to pursue his claims.
Unfortunately for Mr. Chau Inh, the threat came in the form of a suspicious accident that sent his nine year old daughter into hospital after being involved in a hit and run.
Mr. Chau Inh believes it was a local authority figure that initated the accident.
The previous protest conducted by the Khmer Krom people last February was temporary solved after Vietnamese authorities promised to solve the matter after Vietnamese New Year.
Two months later, the Vietnamese authorities announced that they will not be returning any of the confiscated land back to the indigenous owners of the Mekong Delta.
The announcements have sparked anger and frustration as Khmer Krom people young and old once again march to find justice in a society dominated by one way party policies.

What Khmer Krom needs to do is to follow the Palestine footstep against Israel. This is the only way those blood thirsty Vietcong will suffer.
