Villagers from La Ban Siek commune, Ratanakiri province, all claimed that an official from the Military Police (PM) unit, and another official from the provincial police force used the name of CPP MP Bou Thang to grab lands belonging to villagers who have proper land titles. The officials are putting fence around public roads belonging to the state and turn them into their private properties.
Yan Neat, a villager from village No. 7, indicated that lands in the provincial development zone were divided into lots and sold to the villagers, and land titles were also issued to the villagers. However, Yan Vin, a bodyguard of CPP MP Bou Thang, ordered workers and tractors to tear down the property fences, and he also ordered the land clearing to be made for Bou Thang.
Yan Neat said: “I ask him: ‘Uncle, who hired you to do all this?’ He said that he is Ta (grandpa) Bou Thang’s bodyguard.”
Em Koy from Village No. 3 indicated also that Yin Saroeun, a provincial police official, hired workers to set fence posts to grab provincial public roads extending 5-meter-width-by-215-meter-long, and he also grabbed portion of lands belonging to 2 villagers, (claiming that he is doing this) to enlarge nearby lands belonging to Bou Thang: “He violated my land and land belonging to Brother Thy. He also grabbed public road and this affects many families. Yin Saroeun said that what he was doing was an order from Ta Bou Thang.”
On 05 May 2008, RFA could not reach Yan Vin, Bou Thang’s bodyguard, over the phone.
As for Yin Saroeun who is accused of the same charge, refused to comment, claiming that he was too busy in a meeting, however, he revealed that: “Before there was no road, later on Ta (Bou Thang) allowed (this road to be build) for the villagers to cross.”
Nhean Tay Sy, the La Ban Siek commune chief, indicated that he received the claim from the villagers in these two cases already, and that last week, the commune council held a meeting and agreed to issue an order for Yin Saroeun to stop building fences on Road No. 420, which is prescribed in the provincial master plan, and the commune also sent a letter to ask the provincial authority to intervene in these issues as well: “Yin Saroeun built his fence 5-meter from Brother Bou Thang’s fence. For Bou Thang’s land, he has new concrete fences built for himself. I reported to the provincial authority to end the construction and the violation of public properties.”
RFA could not reach Muong Poy, the Ratanakiri provincial govewrnor, about this issue yet because he was caught in the meeting room, however CPP MP Bou Thang said that all the dispute lands were his for many years already.
Bou Thang said: “… They are my lands from long ago, I didn’t build the fence because I didn’t have money, I had wood fence … starting since 82-83 on.”
Bou Thang was accused of ordering the cutting of several hundreds of rubber trees belonging to the state in Ratanakiri, (on behalf of) the Vietnamese company Hang Thang. In this case, the Tai Seng Company which received the right to invest in rubber trees plantation in Ratanakiri brought a lawsuit (against Bou Thang) at the provincial court many months back, but the court has yet to take any action in this lawsuit case against Bou Thang.

Only the CPP offiers that abuse power
in commiting all criminal acts.
Bou Thang is one of Hanoi's evil hand. he is big as Cheasim, Pou Thang, Chea South, and Hun Xen!
I am sure the SRP would have been 100 times worse, had they had control of Cambodia.
At any rate, if people got proper land title, the court should be able to handle this dispute.
Can you show me some proof of the criminal act that Sam Rainsy has committed so far that you consider to be worse than you Hun Xen's? If you cannot, you are more blind than Hun Xen is.
9:23PM, don't pay attention to 9:19PM -- he's probably going burning down houses and evict the villagers of their property. Then, resale the land. And that's what CPP is good for, inflicting suffering to their own citizens.
before they fallen ,they let country and people remain drying .
they almost sold every thing in the country they will let all of us hard restore back the country .
YOUN 's Pet and YUON never want all khmer grow up and stronger than them .
And where will they take the money if their children will have no land to stand, but go under?
CAMBODIA IS CLAIMED TO BE KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA WITH HER CONSTITUTION AGREED TO IN 1991 UNDER PEACE ACCORD.
JUST WONDERING WHY CAMBODIA BECOMES KINGDOM OF ARNARCHY???
AND WHERE IS HER KING???
IS THERE ANY OBLIGATION FOR THE KING IN MONARCHY CONSTITUTION???
ENOUGH ABUSES TO THE CAMBODIANS-KING.
XMAN
Bou Thong is one of Viet Minh member. He's one of Yuon's puppets.
Just bring the land title to court and stop bitching. This will not look good to investors.
Hang all the bloody Viet troller/pimp and parasites on KI-Media such as the ones @11:54 PM.
You Viet parasites must know the universal language:
"The world sees and knows the Viet true color too well already".
