A rights group for the Khmer Kampuchea Krom ethnic group has made a public appeal to the government and Buddhists to help monks who flee persecution in Vietnam.
The Khmer Kampuchea Krom Human Rights Organization asked that the monks be allowed to stay and study in Cambodian pagodas and be recognized as Cambodian citizens. They asked donor countries to push harder for rights of the group in Vietnam's Mekong Delta.
Thirteen monks who had fled Vietnam were "suffering fear and discrimination" and had no place to stay, the group said in an open letter.
The organization "would like to call on both Cambodian Buddhist sects, heads of monks of all pagodas, pagoda commissions [and] particularly the Royal Government of Cambodia to help provide pagodas [for the monks] to stay and to continue study," the group said.
The letter, dated May 8, was copied to Prime Minister Hun Sen, the Ministry of Cults and Religion and the media.

Khmer Help Khmer, Khmer Love Khmer, Khmer needs Khmer. If any Khmer don't love Khmer is a dog, if any Khmer don't need Khmer is a cow, if any Khmer don't help Khmer is a bullshit. Poor Khmer Krom that always been persecuted by both Vietnamese and Cambodian government. Is there anybody want to help these Khmer Krom people?
The anon 6:58Am at least has Vietnamese blood; I don't believe Cambodian people will say cruel thing like that to their own kind.
During my last viist in Cambodia, there're more Vietnamese than Cambodian. They are Cambodian by day Vietnamese by night.
The Vietnamese will exterminate Khmer one by one.
To Vietcong bitch!
The Vietcong like to compare orange and apple!!!The Chinese government oppressed their own people for everything like the one in Tienamen Square which the Chinese people demanded democracy!!On the other hand, the fucken Vietcong are oppressing on a group of people who are none Viet!!!The Vietcong institution is a racist institution which aimed to oppress all non-Viet including the Khmer Krom people!!!This is a Vietcong racial isolation system that the Khmer Krom people are dealing with here! Now you know why the fucken Vietcong are playing double standard here! The Vietcong better not touch the Khmer Krom! The Vietcong better not touch the Khmer Krom!!!The Khmer Krom have to right to live just like any Viet on this planet!!
The Vietcong will go the way of the communist in Poland!!!As far as I am concerned Vietname is just a fucken shrimp among whale and they better behave!!!
This is not the issue of religion contaminated with politics or spies because Khmer Krom people had been demanding their right to freedom of religion since the fucken Vietcong took over before 1949!!!Now the fucken Vietcong act this whole shit of demanding for religeous freedom just happend right now!!!!This is bullshit talk!
The Vietcong will never have a peace and stability!!!!The Vietcong know that they can no longer opppressed and intimidated the 14 million Khmer Krom because it is against God's will!!!The Vietcong racist isolation system will be dismantled soon or later!!!
Frankly, 11:29, you live abroad too
long. you can't possibly identified
Khmer from Yuon or from a mixture
of Khmer and Yuon accurately. It is
a difficult task, even for me and
many others. Fact of the matter is
1 in 5 people in Cambodia is
either Ah Khmer-Yuon or Ah Yuon-
Khmer, and that is the truth, and
to some people it does look like
there are more Yuon than Khmer, but
don't let your eyes deceived you,
bro.
