The US-based Human Rights Watch on Wednesday urged the Vietnamese government to immediately free Khmer Kampuchea Krom monks and land rights activists from prison or house arrest for their involvement in the “peaceful expression of their political and religious beliefs.”
At least five Khmer Krom monks have been released from prison in recent months, but their movements have been restricted, according to the Cambodian organization the Khmer Kampuchea Krom Community.
Thach Setha, president of the Khmer Kampuchea Krom Community, appealed to the United Nations and the European Union, as well as the new administration in the US, to take additional measures to pressure the Vietnamese government “to respect the rights” of Khmer Krom and other indigenous people.
Ly Son was released Nov. 23, 2008; Kim Moeun, Danh Toan and Thach Thoeung were released Jan. 18; and Ly Hoang was released Tuesday, according to the group.
However they have been “prohibited” from being reinstated as monks, despite official requests, the group said.
Human Rights Watch Asia Director Brad Adams said such a release “doesn’t address the fundamental problem of the Vietnamese government continuing to jail people for peaceful expression of their religious or political views.”
“The underlying problems faced by the Khmer Krom in Vietnam still remain,” he said.
Human Righs Watch on Wednesday issued a full report on abuses of Khmer Krom, a minority group in Vietnam with cultural ties to Cambodia.
“Wary about possible Khmer Krom nationalist aspirations, Vietnam has suppressed peaceful expressions of dissent and banned Khmer Krom human rights publications,” the group said in a statement.
Vietnam Embassy officials could not be reached for comment.

Khmer people will be reunited to liberate our people from the fucking yuons and siams. Where is the CPP gang (Hun Sen, Hen Samrin, Chea Sim, ...and cronies)? If you care about your country, your people as you have always said, why don't you do something to help Khmer people?
The three bastards Hun Sen, Heng Samrin, Chea Sim claimed they lierated Khmer people from KR. Why do you stop there, why not liberate your country from the yuon settlers?
No doubt that Yuon is following the Chinese footsteps to suppress and control Khmer Krom movements and freedom of speech the same tactic that the Chinese gov’t has been using in Tibet to abuse human rights there.
Hoping some days Khmer Krom uprising against Yuon to gain autonomous and their freedom.
You motherfucker don't know nothing asshole.
Khmer Kandal considered Khmer Krom as veitnamese. They just cannot living with khmer Kandal, they must go back to their independence land. Khmer King had trashed them since Chey Chetha II. Because them, who worked and loves vietnamese as their native there.
3:35AM - That is your opinion only. I am a Khmer Kandal and I always feel connected with other fellow Khmers, either he or she is a Khmer Krom, Kandal, Leur or oversea.
Don't try to divide Khmer people.
Those 3 monkeys (The CPP) are the puppet of Viet, how could they liberate the khmer krom people from viet???
Impossible ...until they are like a Hok then khmer can be reunited...
Long live Khmer!
Hun Sen is peace loving man when dealing with the enemies but when he deals with Cambodian people is the opposite!
Good job Hun Sen! For you to chase helpless Cambodian monks make you the noblest fool in front of the Siam and the Viet!
Just look at Ah youn in the uniform in the picture they chase the unarm peaceful monk like they chase the monster , these fucking dogs are proud to hurt and intimidate Khmer people .. AH Qwuck are verry happy about this , right Ah qwuck HUN SEN ?
When can you chase youn like that. AH KWACK.

Khmer Kampuchea Krom are the trouble makers, no matter where they go, they fight each other like cat and dog. they speak vietnamese at home, they married vietnamese, they dress like vietnamese. Look at their leaders such as Son Sann, Son Sen, Son Sibert, Thach Kim Trang (Eing Sary), Troeung Maly, Chau Senkosal, Chau Sen, Thach Sang, Thach Sitha, Thach Noc Thach, Thach Kim Vein, Kim Van Chheng etc. etc...they all vietnamese born. Our khmer kandal never trust and/or depend on you. The Cambodia Government should deport their arse back to Vietnam just like the US did to Khmer in the US.
They are very very useless people in the region. All can't be trusted!
When Khmer Krom become leader, they start kill all the khmer kandal. Example: Khmer Rouge leader Son Sen, Eing Sary. Son Sann and Troeung Maly at Camps. Thach Sang with vietcong and at camps, Chau Sen with vietcong and now billionaire at Siem Reap. Open your eyes khmer kandal. Don't trust these double heads.
Ah bastard Hun Sen will do evrything to please ah Yuons; ah Chhke Yuons!
Khmer Krom were abandon by the khmer king since 17th century.
They live without identity and history. They always serve vietnamese in all form of government. About 35% khmer krom served Vietcong. 25% served Ngo Din Dim, 40% served Nguyen Van Theiu, Nguyen Cao Ky.
So khmer Kandal, be aware of these khmer krom, they might sell you to vietcong of Rank and money.
Bullshit, we didn't abandon anyone. It is you guy who split from us do to greed and lust with Viet women and traded our lands for them ...
You were having a ball and now you run out of fun and you try to use us to bail you out. No can do, sir!
Blame the lost of Khmer Krom to Viet on the French gov’t. No one can decide on Khmer territorial integrity but its’ own people. Without the French intervention, Khmer Krom would be united with Khmer Leu by now.
Why are you guys howling at each other on this matter while you can read the history about it?
I am 28 years old. I never seen or study about khmer krom history, do anybody have khmer krom history? If do, please, publish for us new generation to read and understand why the lost of khmer land?
6:49 AM, follow the following link to read some of the Khmer histories:

5:57am shut your toilet mouth. Your lie is your stupidity alone. Thank you.
KK did not lost land to Yuon. They traded they land for Viet women and money and party it all away. Now they regretting it, but it's too late. Greed has a price.

One person 40 minutes apart.
Hear this.
This is the 21st century. Khmers know what really is black what really is white. We had too much of experience from the past.
Try hard as you can, but you can't stop the loveness between the Khmer peoples, it's in our blood. We are unitING and supporting one another, we can only get stronger and get rid offf the youn flue.
ONLY YOUN WOULD FEAR KHMERS UNTING.
Why blame the victim the Khmer Krom people? The Youn start it and they will have to end it!
Free the Khmer Krom people now!
Just pack up and leave if you don't like Vietnam. Just don't come to Cambodia. We don't want anymore traitors here.
Look like the Viets are scared by the United Khmer Front: Leur + Kandal + Krom.
My fellow Khmer community, we cannot be fooled by the Vietcongs any longer of their divide-and-conquer. Their aim is to Vietnamize Indochina. The Viets have already swallowed Lao silently.
The Viets have occupied Kampuchea-Krom(and call it Nam Bo), and now their hungry eyes on Cambodia (and call it Nam Van). Does everyone see how the Viets name our Khmer lands and our territories. They have named our lands with word "Nam". Is this ironic or a coincidence with "Annam" or "Viet Nam".
The only way Khmer regain Respect is to Empower OURSELVES. To empower Khmer is to unite all Khmer.
Chey Chetha II is Khmer lesson from Viets!
Kum Pup Teh Ong-Vinh Te Canal is lesson from Viets!
Hun Sen selling out Cambodia to Viets is another lesson!
Sok Kong (true Viet owner) of Sokimex who run Angkor Wat (Khmer iconic site) is enough insult to Khmer nationhood!!!
Khmer Rubber Plantation is being run by Viet's companies
Khmer roads and highways are being built by Viet's companies and Khmer indebted.
Khmer markets are being flooded by Viet's products--to enrich Viet economy only
all in all Viet domination in Khmerland(Kampuchea-Krom and Cambodia) is a threat to Khmer identity and survival.
What? How can there be any united Khmer front, when they constantly try to steal from each other.
I don't believe the vietnam can dominate the whole Indochina. The
Kum Pup Teh Ong-Vinh Té Canal just a story teller made it up to coup khmer at that time. Cambodia will not be swallowed by the scrarer gene. If vietnam swallowed Lao silently, why the world has no react to that?. You liar to gain your own political game.
So all you guys think opposition party do it the rigth thing? They always make khmer fighting for each other and they will sell Cambodia country to some country around the world.
This is rediculest the police are from the Hun Sen government they are basing their own fellow Khmer Monk...that is a sign of short life.... she accident can happened intentionally or unintentionally like Mr. Hok Lundy...either he got hit by a lightning strike or got assassinate.
I hope the power force behind this cruel in-human approach return to those involve soon. The KR use violent and the CPP are no different here so do the Vietnames government.
