Violent land eviction in Cambodia's tranquil beachside municipality

Police and military police stand guard over cowering villagers after setting fire to their homes. Sixty houses were burned down. (Photos: Licadho)
Authorities use a bulldozer to raze the remaining houses which were not burnt down.
In the middle of the violent, unlawful eviction, a father -- forced from his home with his few possessions -- tends to his young baby. He was subsequently arrested and sent to prison.
A military policeman, armed with a stick and an assault rifle, threatens villagers as their homes burn.
Authorities keep villagers lying on the ground until the work of razing their houses is completed.
Thirteen villagers were arrested for allegedly resisting the unlawful eviction, yet up until now there has been no investigation or prosecution by the authorities into the excessive violence used by police officers.

This government is moving forward to re-introduce Khmer Rouge style of controling the country. If Cambodian people do not show massive reaction then it is the invitation to treat more badly to the Cambodian people. "One day they steal chick, then steal cow, now steal your land and home" In the future what will they steal? your daughter, your wife, and yourself??

The Royal Government of Cambodia acts of
“HEINOUS CRIMS” to the poor.

The Royal Government attempts to robb from the poor, which it organized long ago. The Regime acts of evil, its aggression against their own and poor people, thus, do not have anything and astonishing.

The Classic Royal Evil Regime delivered themselves and continue to devote themselves to all kinds of criminal activities with the aim to the poor communities by burning and destroying to the gound zero.

So cruel. Those who hurt the poor are not human. More, those who order the police to hurt them cruely are not human.

I DETEST Hun Sen. He is an ugly evil.

Why does not he protect them?

Where were these armed dogs when the Viets, the Thais and the Laotians illegally occupied Cambodian lands along the border?

These cowards can only be used effectively against their own people. They survived on alcohol and leftovers from their bosses for carrying out such a barbaric act.

Was it a problem solving,a Quick Fix approch to the problem or a problem creating?
It a Khmer Rouge or a Burmese style way of treating poor people.
It's so disgusing!

The King DO NOT have omnipotent power to control the outcomes of economy or the weather, or predict future of the countrymen! HUn Sen, why don't YOU go back to REM state!

HE FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE KING BROUGHT THE DARKENING CLOUDS OVER CAMBODIA. While he is having tea, good foods, and warm place and comfort from his love one, Khmers people are being displaced from their home. In the past 3 years, how many incidences that we knew that the citizens being evicted, NOT BY CHOICE. THE CITIZENS BEING COERCIVELY FORCED OUT LIKE THE KR STYLE! What or has the Norodom do anything to intervene?

The border conflicts among our neighbors are a HOT topic! Khmer people are abused/killed/terrorized on his/her soil by the VN/Thais/not much Laotians. But, What or has the Norodom do to intervene?

All I knew is that the King left the Country to have some more teas with the foreigners abroad. Are you telling me that the Norodom is "God King"? Come on people, wake up, Khmers people are DEPRIVED of his/her property ownership, no place to live, no basic needs for activity of daily living.

Last but not least, until I see the the able body in the CPP, then I shall believe that they are working the country. OTHERWISE HUN/NORODOM = LEECHES!(parasitic worms being)

Certainly, the Washington Post and New York Time will be interested in these(appalling and disturbing)articles; therefore, I will be in contact with them and explore the possibilities.

Peace to our motherland!

The “HEINOUS CRIMS” of the Royal Government of Cambodia is in The World Headlines:

After two thousand years of civilization, The Khmer Nation and the Khmer Race are heading toward the holocaust of UNSPEAKABLE magnitude which could result in their disappearance from the face of the earth very very soon and they will become the Champa II or Kampuchea Krom II for sure.

That is how a Yuon Communist Viêtcông came into play by teach to their hench , i.e., on How to be Land-grabbing, Kidnapping, Human Trafficking, Money laundering, Repressing, Oppressing, Terrorizing, Imprisoning, Assassins..........ect.

These acts are the same path toward a permanent sundown on the Khmer people which condemn in their foolishness of the so-called Government of the People.

Only animals can do that to each other. Even pets in the U.S behave better than this.

Yeah, but Ah Khmer-Yuon squatters are animals, and it's our job to evict those animals from civilization and send them back to the jungle where they came from.

No thank, we have seen and heard too many unproven fluky theories, and it is very annoying.

We'll preferred to stick with what we got and not subject our people to uneducated guess. Therefore, I must say, "get lost!"

I am fucken frustrated as hell!

I mean AH HUN SEN can negotiate with the Vietcong government on Cambodian border issue and North Korean government on economic issue but why can AH HUN SEN negotiate with his people on land issue? How hard is it to negotiate peacefully to find the solution and how about give some incentives to dirt poor Cambodian people to move out the land peacefully because these dirt poor Cambodian people have nothing and I mean nothing! Their fucken little shack says it all!

I do believe that if AH HUN SEN government have the will power to talk and to negotiate in a peaceful civilize manner and the solution will be found and so far there is no will power because it is the culture of a dictator not to negotiate!

Cambodia is still run by the same government installed by the Vietcong since 1979! This is a Vietcong puppet government! I wouldn’t be surprised if the Vietcong government tells the Vietcong puppet government not to negotiate with dirt poor Cambodian people!
