Source from Kampuchea Krom (southern Vietnam) reported that a numerous number of Vietnamese citizen and Vietnamese authorities have violently abused Khmer-Krom citizen a few days earlier due to property (land) related issue. They are jailed, beaten up, tortured, and their home is burnt down.
Khmer-Krom Buddhist Association around the world blame Vietnam Authorities and their citizen about the Human Rights abuse towards one particular Khmer-Krom family recently due to a property related matter and ask for the International Association worldwide to restrain Vietnam government for allowing such human rights abuse to take place.
President of Khmer-Krom Buddhist Association worldwide, Venerable Lieu Pov, 70 years of age, gave a summary report behind the incident. On February 25th around 6 pm, soldiers, Police, and a group of Vietnamese citizen have beaten Mrs. Ly Thi Huong and his family (8 members family) who reside in Buerng Tunsar village, Vien An District, My Xien, Klaeng Province, Kampuchea Krom (southern Vietnam). He also added that they burned down his house, and took one of Mrs. Ly Thi Huong’s brothers, Ly Suong, and detained him.
“High official of communist government, high official in the District and sub-district in the village gathered, about 50 people, brutally beaten Mrs. Ly Thi Huong and his family including his children and his mother. They were so beaten up that they had to be taken to the hospital. They are locked up, their home is burned down and their crop (rice) is harvested and taken away. Now they have nothing left, everything is all burnt in the fire including legal documents and money…”
The inhuman incident occurred due to farmland, Venerable Lieu Pov added. Khmer-Krom keeps appealing to the Vietnam authorities because their farmland has been taken away from them by the Vietnamese citizen. However, in Mrs. Ly Thi Huong’s case, the authorities never did anything to solve the problem because the authorities have actually given the lands to Vietnamese citizen to own, but instead they gathered to beat up Mrs. Ly Thi Huong and his family, aiming to beat them up to death and burned down their house to eliminate the proof of land ownership (property rights).
Lastly, Venerable Lieu Pov added that his Association wants to condemn the Vietnamese government and its citizen for this atrocious incident, and seeks help from the international associations to put pressure towards Vietnam for letting their citizen perform this inhuman action towards Khmer-Krom people.
Mr. Trinh Ba Cam a messenger of Vietnamese Ambassador in Cambodia spoke in Khmer language said that there is always some sort of land issues in every country in the world.
“I have nothing to say, but I believe there no such story that the Vietnamese police or the Vietnamese citizen beating up and did something like this toward Khmer people down there.”
He also added that this is an accusation towards Vietnam and that it is just an act to gain political benefits.
“What ever the accusation is, we should not worry about it, because the accusation is to gain political benefits. If it is true then that is another issue that we should look into, but about the accusation, we are not going to pay any attention to it.”
Mr. Ang Chan Rit, the Vice President of Khmer Kampuchea-Krom Human Rights organization confirmed that, he also received the same news from his people in Vietnam regarding this incident. However, he could not perform further investigation regarding this issue because the Vietnam government prohibits any Human Rights organization to do any investigation in their country.
“But no matter what, we will still intervene into this issue via the embassy and other borders guards to help stop and control such violent act from happening again.”

Hmm ... the scenario sounds very familiar. Could this be a squatters case too?
What do you expect in Communist country and countries ruled by dictators? Land grabbing in Northern of Vietnam and kidnapping the citizen for ransom, just to name a few. It's not new
Yeah, but Vietnam is slowly evolving our of communism. The best solution for now is patient and flow with the traffic.
You know I hate to say this, look at East Timorese and Ereatria in Africa, they fought the colonizer with swords, bows, arrows and stone and defeating the colonizer. For us Khmer Krom we should have done the same regardless of their weapons, we must stand up hands in hands and the fight the YOUN to get independence. All Khmer Krom please stabd up and liberate our motherland. For East Timorese, they are very small island and surrounded by the big giant Indonesia and they fought with success. Please rise up Khmer Krom! Jayo! Khmer Kom.
Without outsiders help like East Timor whose helped by the US and International community, don't dream. The Viet Communists will shoot and kill all of your people.
One option you and your people could do is starting to help your own community outside the country to be stronger and then send help to your people.
A everybody.
And the children of whores of this blog Sino Khmer ki media When you speak, start first by you express with respect for others if you want to defend your cause and do something good for your country cambodia.

I hear you ah/mee 11:16 PM.
My name is Do Mae Cong Chor.
I hear ah/mee 11 16pm too. and my name is Phuck ya Mae, Khong.
The Cambodian markets and businesses are flooded with the Vietnam-centric, low-quality and cheap products due to the heavy political influence by Vietnam on the current Phnom Penh regime. Cambodia-made products suffer tremendously under the Vietnam’s cheap products and the higher value of Cambodia’s currency. To simply flood the market with cheap products is to drive many Cambodian businesses to go under, and hence most Cambodian citizens will become more dependent on the Vietnam-made products.
To 11:16 The dumbazz
Don't contemplating or look down at us like that bastard. We are proud of ourself "Khmer". We will rule Southeast Asia again. Better watch out!
The Khmers are a race in the process of disappearance if themselves they continue to be done of the illusions on their power and not to distrust the Chinese otherwise more dangerous than the thais and the yuons.
a question : what this sino khmer ? how many are they in cambodia to day?
Fuck the stupid khmer sait chines and yuon men.
call up human righrs advocates and worldwide attention to this. don't leave this khmer krom issue isolated any longer. get it in the media as well!!!
Khmer people should do the same thing to the Vietnamese people who are currently living in our country (Cambodia).
9:40pm
I am in full agrement with you. There is no other ways to deal with these animals peacefully. These animals can only recognize courage and perseverance. Fight against them using all means available, especially big knives and battons, clubs. Better sacrifice and die than live under suppression. The Viets will be defeated and they must perish from southeast asia. Death to the Viets.
I agreed, East Timores done that. Ereatrea in East Africa done that. Why can't just sacrafice some life to better life for the newer generation. Khmer Krom, I or we all Khmer love you dearly. Please keep up the good work. I am proud that now you live in the modern time that we can contact each other with all sort of communication. We will win one day. Look at Kosovo, they sacraficed then they won. We can do it too brother. Lets rise up hands in hands to work toward our self determination. Jayo! Khmer krom. Bravo! The world will hear you if speak up louder. The louder you get the worry Youn will be shame and scare.
Listen Maggot Feeders, In Cambodia, Khmer people make all decisions for Khmer future, and in Vietnam, Ah Khmer-Yuon make decision for their future.
There is no such thing as Ah Khmer-Yuon make any decision in Cambodia, and there is no such thing as Khmer people make any decision in Vietnam. You got that?
Khmer people has different ideas, groups, political party to lead our country. In term of YUON and Siam, we have the same thought. They are both our enemies and the invader.
Don't try to fool us. We know you are just Ar Chke Yuon.
This is not complicated you maggot feeder.
Ah Khmer-Thai make decision for Khmer in Thailand. Ah Khmer-Lao make decision for Khmer in Laos. Ah Khmer-Burmese make decision for Khmer in Burma. And Ah Khmer-Yuon make decision for Maggot feeders in Vietnam. You got that?
Nobody make decision for Khmer in Cambodia except for Khmer people themselves. Get that into your thick skull, alright?
Vietnamese are an extremely inferior barbaric race with animalistic tendencies. These monkeys mimic everything from their masters the Chinese. They are strong ONLY in numbers but would easily break like the skinny shit twig-people that they are if they were to fight hand-hand. They are a disgrace to the human race, I hope soon they will be exterminated by natural disaster since they mostly live on the coast.
Because of that type of mentally which is why you failed.
And you must accept responsibility for your failure and stop pointing fingers at other people.
Agree with you 8 05 am.
These people are too angry and cursing is helping them.
You can say that again, mate.
Let Prak Sereivuth deals with the Khmer Krom situation. He will prevail with his mission.
Somehow I am skeptical about it, 2:51.
Khmer Krom will rise as an independent nation soon. Jayo! Khmer Krom!
Yeah, on Planet of the Ape, and don't fucking come back either you maggots feeders.
