4 Khmer Krom monks still continue to hide after they were forced to be defrocked and to leave the Wat Say Sopharam pagoda, also known as the Wat O’Andoung pagoda, located in Mongkul Borey district, Banteay Meanchey province.
Venerable Thach Kong Phuong, who is currently fleeing from his forced defrocking and his expulsion from the pagoda, said from his hideout that on 15 November, the pagoda committee and monk officials had accused Khmer Krom monks of distributing propagandas for the Khmer Kampuchea-Krom Federation (KKF).
Ven. Thach Kong Phuong added that after human rights NGOs, such as Adhoc, Licadho and Khmer Kampuchea-Krom Association, investigated the case with the local commune authority and the pagoda members, they found out that the Khmer Krom monks were never at fault as they were accused of, and they agreed to let the 4 monks to return back to the Wat O’Andoung pagoda after fleeing to the Wat O’Nhor pagoda.
Thach Kong Phuong added that, after they received the invitation to return back to their old pagoda, they did not return back immediately. It was not until the Buddhist holy day on 17 November 2007 that the monks returned back. Soon thereafter, the cops and the pagoda committee used force to surround the 4 Khmer Krom monks, telling them that the provincial authority does not allow Khmer Krom monks to stay in this pagoda anymore because the 4 monks allegedly had affairs with women. They were told to leave Mongkul Borey district within a 3-day period, starting from the day the warning was issued to them, otherwise, they will be defrocked by force.
Ven. Thach Kong Phuong said: “The official monk came because he was ordered by the provincial governor, the provincial and the district cult departments, to come to defrock me. But we begged them for a 3-day delay so that we can leave the Mongkul Borey district.”
Ven. Cheang Chhay Eang, another one of the 4 Khmer Krom monks targeted, said from his hideout: “They accused us of having affairs with women. This story was made up the pagoda committee to accuse the monks. Right now, I do not dare go outside because of the 3-day delay has passed.”
Pok Saluy, the Banteay Meanchey provincial governor, said that the provincial authority did not know that the authority went in to expel the 4 Khmer Krom monks out of the Wat O’Andoung commune.
Ang Chanrith, the director of the Khmer Kampuchea-Krom Human Rights Defense Organization (KKHRO), said that his organization is still investigating this case because it suspects that the authority made up the accusations against the 4 monks for distributing KKF propagandas simply because Ven. Thach Kong Phuong possesses some photos which were published in a KKF flyer.
Furthermore, the authority did not find any faults against the 4 monks, so they turn around and accused the monks of having affairs with women. Ang Chanrith suspects that this is a new tactics used by the authority against the 4 monks, just like what was done against Ven. Tim Sakhorn when they didn’t want him to stay in Cambodia anymore.
Sam Chan Kea, an official of the Adhoc human rights organization in Banteay Meanchey province, said that he is still continuing his investigation on the expulsion of the 4 monks, he cannot say if this is a political affair or not yet. However, he said that, based on past investigation, the Wat O’Andoung pagoda committee are involved in (embezzlement) of the pagoda funds, and Ven. Thach Kong Phuong knew too much about this issue, that was why they want to expel him in order to get rid of monks who know too much.

Who are the real thieves? It becomes a culture: Turning black into whie and vice-versa, Thieves into Okhna, Generals, Ek Oddom....
And Turn Maffia money into legal money at the Mushroomed Casinos, backed my the Thieve Corrupt officals.
We don't care about that. It will not destroyed the country like in the 70's. Thus, it is more important to focus on just getting Ah KKF spy monks back to south Vietnam before they could destroyed Cambodia again.
Why acusing Our Compatriots Khmer Krom as Spy? It's CPP High ranking officials who are real servants of Hanoi.
AH Tra Ngol Skin Heads Tep Vong and Lon Nget are aso Sevants of Hanoi.
The Hun Sen government and AH 2 Tra Ngol take discriminative aaction against KK just to Please their master, Hanoi.
The Vietcong deny the existence of Khmer Krom people in the 1980! I wonder why!
Because there is no such thing as Kampuchea Krom in 1980 or earlier perceivable years. Therefore, there can't be Khmer Krom?
The truth is there is only Vietnam and its citizens (Yuons).
What? How come AH HUN SEN dare ask the Vietcong government for the Khmer Krom people to help him fight the resistance force in the 1980!
Nope, we asked for Yuon to help fight the Khmer Rouge. There is no such thing as Khmer Krom, only Yuon.
1:57 For a skinhead like you we don't exist. But for us that live and breath well this common air we strive to be heard and have our voices and become louder and louder until no one doubts our existence anymore because of people like you.

Frankly, 2:23, if Ah Khmer-Yuon criminals became extinct, no one will be heartbroken by it. we all will be celebrating such day, and we'll all wait for that moment right now.
CPP and Khmer Kampuchea Kroms
Khmer Kampuchea Kroms are indigenous people who are originally Khmers and they are recognized by the Cambodian constitution whenever they are arriving Cambodia land.
Vietnam has taken profound advantage in cooperating with CPP to deprive Khmer Kampuchea Kroms. Vietnam has potential to get support from CPP in depriving Khmer Kampuchea Kroms through following factors:
1. Vietnam has used policy of cooperation with their former lackeys, the CPP, and their leaders, to maintaining influences and interferences internal politics of Cambodia. Many social, political and economical agreements have been signed by both Hanoi and CPP to strengthen their forever friendship without concerning neutrality and sovereignty of Cambodia.
2. Vietnam's effective mechanism to maintaining their former lackeys in place is to force CPP's elites to sign friendship agreements in all fields and institutions in Cambodia.
3. Through such traditional friendship and several treaty agreements, Vietnam has ensured that their interests inside Cambodia and their former lackeys cannot release themselves from political orchestration inside Cambodia especially to deprive Khmer Kampuchea Krom is effective.
4. Vietnam is smart to use the pretext in maintaining relationship and bilateral cooperation with CPP to protect security and interests of both countries by marginalizing Khmer Kampuchea Kroms.
CPP is considered as Khmers who have tremendously worked for Khmers and their nation, so what measurement that CPP is dealing with Khmer Kampuchea Kroms like nowadays? CPP should have their own political designation to deal with Khmer Kampuchea Kroms. CPP should not lower themselves and step on their political identity to follow Vietnam by depriving Khmer Kampuchea Kroms.
Doing so CPP is serving as:
1. CPP is opposing Cambodian national constitution.
2. CPP is considered totally as the ongoing lackey performer for Vietnam. This total lackey playing was fully performing during 1978-199.
3. Khmer Kampuchea Kroms are Khmer, so when CPP is helping Vietnam depriving Khmer Kampuchea Kroms, it means CPP is depriving Khmers all 13 millions inside Cambodia.
4. CPP is the government leader who is controlling an independent territory, but when Khmer Kampuchea Kroms have been depriving freely inside Cambodia, it means CPP has no power at all to maintain Cambodian national interests and her integral sovereignty.
The case of Monk Tim Sakhorn and this recent intimidation to four Khmer monks (not KKK because they are living in Cambodia) are underscoring the hard talk of sovereignty, integrity and independence of Cambodia while it led by CPP (former Vietnam's lackey).
All Cambodian people are feeling insecure and uncertain through current CPP's political standing with Vietnam especially the mechanism to deal with Khmer Kampuchea Kroms.
The solution is simple: many elite CPP's members, opposition parties and Cambodian people have seen this deprivation of Khmer Kampuchea Krom inside Cambodia as a harsh danger to the security and independence of Cambodia.
KY
hey 2:23, you are a freaking YOUN spy trying to make our khmer in Cambodia to hate Khmer Krom because you scare Khmer Krom stand up to tell the truth how your freaking YOUN government oppressed Khmer Krom.
We, Khmer in Cambodia, knows your real face, so stop bullshitting calling Khmer Krom as Khmer-YOUN to confuse us. Your YOUN master have used that trick for years, so it doesnt work now, dump ass. Only a Khwak Hun Sen may think that trick still works because a Kwak Hun Sen and his CPP gangsters are stupid and just follow the YOUN order.
Your grandmother, your mom, your sisters, your daughters are hookers for generations, so you never feel any heartbroken if the Khmer Krom people are killed by Your YOUN Hanoi government. Your people are born to be a hookers. Cambodia will have no hookers if all the black teeth goes back to Hanoi. Then, Cambodia will be Independent from Hanoi.
3:34, there is no trick here. Stop denying the truth. There is no such think as Khmer Krom, only Ah Khmer-Yuon which is really Ah khmer losers that became Yuon citizens in srok Yuon, just like Ah Khmer losers in Long Beach. CA became Ah Khmer-Americans.
Correction: Above post is to 3:04, not 3:34.
