Meas Sokchea
The Phnom Penh Post
TWO villagers in Svey Rieng province who had filed complaints about losing their land were arrested on Wednesday after being questioned in connection with the uprooting of Cambodia-Vietnam border markers with opposition party leader Sam Rainsy on October 25, family members and rights groups said.
Meas Srey and Prom Chea were held by provincial court officials after questioning Wednesday. A third man, identified as Neang Phally who had yet to be questioned, fled the court, and his whereabouts remain unknown, officials said.
Two other villagers were due in court for questioning today, court officials added.
Prom Chea’s wife, Choeung Sarin, said her husband’s arrest was unjust. “He was detained in court until Meas Srey was questioned. Then, they were both taken into custody. I am afraid. I don’t know where they’ve taken my husband,” she said.
In a citation issued on December 16, Judge Long Kesphyrom said the accused had purposely destroyed border marker poles and warned that if they refused to appear in court they would be arrested.
“The citation summoned my sister to appear in court, so when she appeared, why did they arrest her?” said Meas Prel, brother of Meas Srey. “This is an abuse of human rights.”
Nget Nara, a coordinator with the human rights group Adhoc, called the arrests unjust. “This action makes other people who are victims never dare to complain again,” he said. “People rely on the court, but the court arrests them.”
Sam Rainsy Party spokesman Yim Sovann said the court is adding to the injustices.
“They wanted the government to help, but they were arrested,” he said, adding that people complaining about losing land should be encouraged, not arrested.
Judge Long Kesyphyrom could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.

2:26AM, The people you should complaints about is the ruling party. Mr. Rainsy is trying to help. If he don't raised this issues no one will.
People need to stop critics those who are helping. You should spent those time help oppose the cruel government. That is where the problem is not the opposition or its defender.

In General, Cambodians are coward including myself! I wish that we have determine people like when the monks burned themselves in protest like in South Vietnam in 1963 against the Diem government or like recently in Iran but instead we protest and protest to no avail.
3:03Am you fucking CPP! you will never know me until I get you motherfucker!
Hey 3:21AM what's wrong with the statment 3:03AM above has made? At least he/she is honest and realizing most determination. I agree with him/her. Look at Iraq/Afganishtan people willing to scrify their live for their land. Why not khmer?
2:26AM above who deserves to be crushed by you. As a person like him/her is not worth to live in the name of Khmer. That's the problem when ones never realizing that they are being suppressed.

We have to stop this cruel intention by Vietnamese govt. Who are the Vietnam? Everyone must find solutions to save your country , save Cambodia. Cambodia won't survive without all of your helps as khmers.

Hello 3:21! I am 3:03, what is wrong with you? I don't give a shit as to who you are? and if you read & understood my line like 3:32 did, then you wouldn't accused me as a CPP supporter? Au contraire, I am against CPP and I wish that we find brave people brave Cambodians than myself who's not that brave! I want to find brave people who's willing to sacrifice their lives to bring to world attention about Cambodia problems with current leaders/government! if only one can burn himself or herself in front of Vietnamese embassy in Cambodia or in France, in the U.S., in Canada, in Australia simultaneously, then maybe it makes some dents or create world attention instead of writing and protesting to no avail so far? understood! if I am single or has no family, I would do it already!
Look at the two poofster. Yuk!

A Khmer from WA or Ah Khmer from WA,
Be cool, don't rush to your stupid judgement. All of us as Khmer have suffered enough from all different political regimes, Sihanouk, Khmer Serei, Lon Nol, Khmer Rouge, Khmer Youn today............We want Khmer to be happy of what we do and we all want our people to enjoy life as other modern countries in the world. What Ah Sam Rainsy did is so...........stupid. He just wanted to enjoy 3 minutes of his stupid actions as a child.
7:20 AM!
If you're realy Khmer, what are you suppose to do? Be blinded just like Akvack and CPP YOUN Pupet or trying to stop Khmer people everywhere that trying to help their people and homeland? And how long is enough for you to understand and not to make a stupid judgement that YOUN is not F*CKING your behind every minute, second and everyday? I think you just an opportunist who get some bones leftover from Akvack dogs and that all! AHAHAHa!!!
STOP BEING CONFUSED THAT HUN SEN, HENG SAMRIN AND CHEA SIM WITH KHMER LEADERS - THEY ARE NOT. THEIR BRAIN HAS BEEN WASHED TO ABSOLUTELY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SERVE VN. A FRENCH HISTORIAN LED ME TO DO RESEARCH IN SAIGON NOW AS HO-CHI-MINH CITY; HE TOLD ME THAT ALL CPP'S OFFICIALS WERE TRAINED IN THU-DUK IN HO-CHI-MINH TO WORK ON BEHALF OF VN'S GOVERNMENT SINCE THE END OF POL POT REGIME. VN HAS PROMISED TO PROTECT THEM - EVEN TO KILL KHMER NATIONALISTS OR FIGHT AGAINST NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES - AS LONG AS THEY SERVE THE BENEFITS OF VN. TO CHECK THIS VALIDITY, I DID A RESEARCH (AFTER THE FRENCH SCHOLAR AND HISTORIAN TOLD ME) BY INNOCENTLY INTERVIEWING SEVERAL FORMER TRAINEES (THE OFFICIALS WHO RECEIVED TRAININGS FROM VIETNAMESE POLITICAL EXPERTS IN HO-CHI-MINH AND IN CAMBODIA - AFTER THE END OF POL POT REGIME), THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING THAT THEY WERE TRAINED TO SERVED VN'S INTERESTS - AND NO-BORDER PLANNING. SOME OF THEM ARE HONEST AND TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE CAMBODIA BECAUSE THEY WERE SURROUNDED BY PRO-VN OFFICIALS. MANY CPP OFFICIALS WHO DO NOT KNOW THIS SECRET STORY ARE HAPPY TO LIVE AND SERVE CPP, AND PROUD OF STATUS AND RICH PROPERTIES, BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW THAT THEY SERVING VN'S POLICY AND BENEFITS. TO CONCLUDE, ALL CPP'S MEMBERS AND OFFICIALS ARE SERVING VN'S BENEFITS - KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY. THEY ARE NOT OFFICIALS OR LEADERS OF KHMER.
True, this is how Vietnam controlling khmers. It's never too late for those khmer leaders to turn their back to against their masters. Those khmers leaders must know that they are khmer born and not Vietnamese born.
"The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks." -Gospel according to St. Luke (6:45)
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." - St. Paul's letter to the Philippians (4:8)
HRW should collect all witness of Khmer farmers and send a complain to the U.N to help solve and find justice for those farmers because even U.N also know that the current Cambodian government is vietnam government created to swallow Cambodia.
COWARDS! COWARDS! COWARDS! INCOMPETENCE! These useless, destructive, selfish, uneducated people need to move over for Sam Rainsy and other more courageous and competent people to lead Cambodia! They cannot even take care of their own people. They think Cambodia is their private property, to be inherited by their children who are so immoral and AMORAL (like animals which cannot distinguish right from wrong!). And the silent CPP supporters - you are complicit in this disgrace of your own country and people. Silence/inaction is agreement.
