The representative of 92 families living in Sangkat O’Tress, Stung Hav district, Sihanoukville, accused the Sihanoukville authority and 200 armed men of recently perpetrating a repression and they are currently demolishing the homes and plants belonging to the 92 families, in order to confiscate the 120-hectare lands occupied by the families and turning the lands over to Sor Seung, an army officer in Sihanoukville.
The demolition of the homes started since 23 May and continued on until this Sunday, the authority erected a fence to prevent people from going in or out, and the lands are currently being guarded by armed men.
55-year-old Keo Kea told RFA on Sunday that the families no longer have shelters and have no land to plant their crops because all their lands have been confiscated. He said that of the homes belonging to the 92 families, half of them have already been demolished, and no traffic is allowed in or out of the confiscated lands so that people can no longer harvest their crops.
Keo Kea said: “The area that has been bulldozed, we cannot get in because they have guards who control to prevent any in or out traffic. After the land clearing, no one can travel in or out so that the people cannot harvest their crops.”
46-year-old Heng Kong, another representative of the families, said: “Our people suffered a lot, we ask for NGOs or the Royal Government to come and help the people, currently, the people are suffering so much. A number have their homes there (on the confiscated lands), they no longer have any shelter.”
Army officer Sor Seung cannot be contacted to obtain his reaction on the accusations leveled against him by the families. However, My Kaing, the Stung Hav deputy district governor, explained that in fact the 92 families are the anarchist.
My Kaing said: “They can accuse all they want, we have our goal, this is our second (land) clearing from an order issued by the city hall. These families occupy a land that is legally owned by someone else since 1993-1994.”
Regarding this issue, Un Anun, an investigator for the Licadho human rights organization in Sihanoukville, said that the land confiscation was done only from an order issued by the city hall (and not one issued by the court). “I saw them (the authority) producing (only) a (city) decree since last time.”
In reaction to this issue, Eng Chhai Eang, the opposition MP who is also the vice-president of the National Authority for the Resolution of Land Disputes said: “If the court did not issue a legal judgment or decree in this case, the authority cannot do anything more than that.”
On 20 May, the Sihanoukville city authority also issued an order to repress in order to confiscate 17-hectare of land occupied by 107 families living in Mittapheap district, Sihanoukville. In that case, the authority burnt down more than 100 homes, arrested and jailed about 13 villagers.

Thanks to everyone who contributed
for the well being of all Khmer
people.
Cambodia's property right law is very poor at best. The French colonialist and Sihanouk rule that followed until the war broke out in 1970 never paid no mind to the issue. Today, khmers who live and occupy the land for how ever long most likely would not have title. It has been the way people live on the land.
There will not end to power stealing of land and of the country wealth as long as Khmer is under vietnamese control. Hun Sen and his clique along with Sihanouk and his entourage are vietnamese agents perpetrated to anihilate khmer race .
No piece of land is safe, no khmer artifacts are safe. And, most of all no cambodian life is safe as long you are not pledging allegiance to the Hun Sen/Sihanouk to serve the vietnamese.
Rise up khmers. With whatever weapon you have. Get rid of these tyrants, vietnamese slaves before your national identity is disapearing.
Until khmer nation gains her national sovereignty, there will not be peace and prosperity on the land.
Khmers should be proud to be khmers . Khmers have a long and rich heritage and traditions and we have artifacts to prove it. Hun Sen and his clique and Sihanouk and the royalist scum bags are not khmers and must be sent packing to their master.
Yes, and Khmer in the US, UK, ...,
or AU will never see their tittle
either.

To 4:51AM,
I 100% support your call for a Khmer uprising against the treasonous Khmer Momnarchy, the Hanoi expansionist tool CPP and their masters, the blood-thirsty Vietnamese and Chinese communists. For the survival of the Khmer race, there is no faintest hope on such lunatic political figures as Sam Rainsy, the hookers Tioulong Saumura and Mu Sochua, the loudspeaker and microphone loving Son Chhay, the adulterer Eng Chhay Eang, the ignorant Keo Remy, the circumcised Norodom Ranariddh, the sex maniac Norodom Sereivudh, Norodom Chakrapong, Sisowath Thomico, Sisowath Sereyrath, the shamelessly greedy Kem Sokha, the useless Dr. Naranhkiri Tith, the psychologically unstable Mabeskal Man and so on so forth. These politically ignorant personalities only exercise their blind ambition for either money or self satisfaction when they enter political arena. They place their vested interests above everything. The survival of Cambodia and that of the Khmer race are not in their minds, let alone their hearts. But these two important words, i.e. Cambodia and Khmer people, are profusely and shamelessly used in their campaign rhetorics, just to give false hope to the weak, the poor and the oppressed. Khmer people, rise up in the form of People Power and chase out all the traitors and their masters, the Vietnamese and Chinese communists. Only People Power can free our motherland from foreign domination. The 21st century is people's century, the century for democracy, liberty and freedom.
RISE UP KHMER PEOPLE! RELY ON OURSELVES AND RISE UP FOR OUR COUNTRY AND OUR OWN DESTINY! AND THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE CLOSELY WATCHING YOU!

To 4:56AM,
Apart from colouring Khmers and making them hate each other for the benefits of Vietnamese and Chinese colonialists, it seems to me that you know nothing else. You serve no Khmer interest by dividing Khmers whilst our country is swamped by 7.5 to 8 million illegal immigrants. You always take issue with all Cambodians living abroad. Why? I have two reasons to ask you why.
1- They never ask you for money to buy air tickets whenever they fly in or out of Cambodia. On the contrary, they have brought in such hard currencies as US dollars, AU dollars, British pounds, EU Euros, etc..., in the form of either personal visits or financial assistances to their relatives who live in misery and under all kind of ruthless oppression from the authorities in Cambodia. What's wrong with that? Well, maybe you want poor Khmer people die of hardship and leave Cambodia's land for the Vietnamese and the Chinese. There is no other thought to explain the reason why you hate oversea Cambodians so much.
2- Living overseas is not always their choice. The overwhelming majority of them have fled Cambodia just for their own survival. If they did not leave the country they, too, love so much, they would not have been around for you to hate.
In brief, 4:56AN, you are not Khmer. Perhaps you are like your Prime Minister is, but you play very well your role as a doormat for either the Vietnamese or the Chinese. So take of your mask, show your face to the public and then GO TO HELL!
8:34, cut the crap, you can take
your currency USD, EURO, AUD, ...
and shove it up your arse for
the trouble and suffering you caused
us. So, stay the fuck our of our
holly soil. We don't want no
infedel here. You got that,
motherfucker?
To 8:51AM fron 8:34AM,
Haha! You are one of the circumcised in Cambodia, no wonder! This is the reason why you hate oversea Cambodians so much, and this is the reason why you fuck your mother, your sisters, your daughters and your own kind all the time. According to your religious belief, you can go to heaven only by fucking your own kind. Good huh! Bravo! Bravo!
Bullshit, that sounds more like
what your people (Ah Khmer-
Gringoes) are doing oversea. We
haven't got a clue what you are
talking about here, infidel.
