Attacks & Threats Against Human Rights Defenders in Cambodia 2007


Source: Licadho


Cambodia is a dangerous place for human rights defenders. During 2007, the Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights (LICADHO) recorded more cases than ever before of threats and attacks against activists attempting to peacefully defend the rights of others.

Throughout 2007, the patterns of threats and attacks against human rights defenders observed in previous years have continued and intensified. Representatives of communities engaged in disputes over land and housing were targeted with threats, unwarranted criminal charges, and in some cases imprisonment. Trade union leaders were assaulted, arrested and prosecuted for their legitimate union activity; one such leader was murdered. Human rights NGO workers continued to be threatened and obstructed in carrying out their work, whilst private citizens legitimately assisting asylum seekers were harassed and imprisoned.

This article is very biased towards our beloved Samdach leader. These people are just abroad who have no ideas what the real situation is like in Cambodia. They get paid to insult our Samdach leader. Fuck them! Samdach is the best Khmer leader in the history of Khmer. Foreigners are fucked-up people anyways. Just look at their economy and the financial crisis. America and Europe will bankrupt themselves soon, and Samdach leader together with China will rise in Asia and become the leading country in the World. Jay Yo our Samdach leader and Jay Yo China.

And oh, fuck the Thais!
