Vietnam Authority Denied Defrocked Khmer-Krom Buddhist Monks to Reordain
PRESS RELEASE: 20 February 2009
Pennsauken, NJ, USA
Soc Trang, Vietnam - Five former Khmer-Krom Buddhist monks, namely Venerable Kim Moeun, Ven. Danh Ton, Ven. Thach Thuong, Ven. Ly Hoang and Ven. Ly Suong have been denied the right to reordain as Buddhist monks by Vietnam authorities.
On 10th May 2007, five defrocked Khmer-Krom Buddhist monks were trialed at a Vietnamese court, without legal or proper presentation. They were accused of allegedly being the organizers of a peaceful demonstration and were sentenced for 2 to 4 years imprisonment.
The injustice sentence sparked international outrage and peaceful demonstrations conducted around the world by the Khmer-Krom and Khmer communities. The pressure of international human rights groups, NGOs and governments resulted in the release of the five monks on January 2009. Upon release, the defrocked Khmer-Krom Buddhist monks headed to the temple where they were originally defrocked by the Vietnam authorities.
On 19th February 2009, the four former monks (Mr Kim Moeun, Mr. Thach Thuong, Mr. Ly Hoang, and Mr. Ly Suong) submitted a letter to the Vietnam authorities seeking permission to be reordained as Buddhist monks. Instead of granting permission, the Vietnam authorities (Mr. Dang Thanh Hai, Mr. Son Song Son, Mr. Thach Kim Sen and Mr. Lam Ren) summoned them for intimidation and interrogation from 8:00am until 1:30pm. They were prohibited from taking a break or lunch during this interrogation session.
In this regards, we would like to urgently appeal for your help to:
Thanks for your help in advance and I am looking forward to hear from you.
Respectfully Yours,

In this regards, we would like to urgently appeal for your help to:
- Urge Vietnam to stop using interrogating tactics and intimidation towards the defrocked Khmer-Krom Buddhist monks.
- Urge Vietnam respect and uphold Article 70 of its Constitution which states that “The citizen shall enjoy freedom of belief and of religion; he can follow any religion or follow none” and allow the defrocked Khmer-Krom Buddhist monks to reordain as part of their individual rights to pursue their studies in Buddhism.
- Urge all foreign Embassies in Vietnam to closely monitor the Khmer-Krom human rights violations and religious freedom situations to ensure that the Khmer-Krom have their rights to freely practice their religion.

Dear Readers,
I am so wondering why the world seems neglected what has been going on with the Khmer-Krom? I am not blaming Hun Sen because he has unresolvable business with VN government, so he can't say anything. But please please please, the world steps up and save those suffered people. They have been living under pressure since centuries.
Thank in advance
Well, first you have to save them from the US before you can save them from anywhere else.
Well, second you have to come together, one khmer-under Vietnamese, then you have many voices that should be recognized by UNPD. It also eliminates the finger pointing at one another. This is the way that you can fight for your Khmer_under Vietnamese. Outherwise, I am the one will destroy you before you can go helping your Khmer_under Vietnamese. And you should stop using the word Khmer Krom, asshole.
Hehh....hehh....hhe....hhee.
CheyChetha III, Hun Sen

Also, you are right that Khmer Krom is no good name for the world to know or recognize that one nation is under abuse or torture by Vietnamese. The name should be Khmer_under Vietname so no needs to explain who is Khmer_Krom means.
