Ethnic Minority Advocates Take Vietnam Concerns to Australians

Advocates for the rights of the Khmer Kampuchea Krom ethnic group began pushing the Australian government for a solution to alleged rights abuses in Vietnam Tuesday.

A delegation of advocates met with Australian Labor Party legislator Chris Bowen to plead for an intervention in Vietnam.

Rights workers say abuses in Vietnam have increased since the country joined the World Trade Organization in January, with advocates harassed and jailed. On Tuesday Vietnam sentenced a pro-democracy activist to five years in prison, the sixth to be jailed in a week.

Kampuchea Krom monks reportedly have been detained along with scores of other laymen.

Bowen promised to take the issue to Australia's parliament, Khmer Kampuchea Krom advocate Chey Samnang said.

I come to think "If Khmer Krom get their land back, guess who are coming into central of Vietnam to liberate Champa?" Bin Laden Osama.
Scary!!! these muslims blow themselves like eating food.
Eh how many year Yuan took Cham? nearly 3oo years. Yuan lost the country to China for ~1000 year, ..
Well thing could happen after we all dead. I can predict that Castro is going to die soon.

Nobody cares for khmer krom or khmer leur. We are the one to save ourselves. Therefore, we all need to be united and go to war with youn and hun sen regime to gain our freedom. Otherwise, everybody will their slave until hun sen reach 90 years old.

No, right now we're slave because
too many Ah Khmer-Yuons and Ah
Khmer-Gringoes are making trouble
and detering jobs from coming in.
Thus, we must get rid of them ASAP
if we are to expect better days in
srok Khmer.
