The Norway-based Cambodia Watchdog Council International (CWCI) demanded that the Cambodian government release the two Khmer villagers whom the Svay Rieng tribunal decided to imprison.
Men Nath, the Chairman of the CWCI, indicated in a statement released on 27 December 2009 from Kristiansand, Norway, that “the court should stop being used to arrest the victimized villagers and the latter, Mr. Prum Chea and Mrs. Meas Srey, should be unconditionally released.”
Mr. Prum Chea and Mrs. Meas Srey were among 5 villagers who were summoned by the Svay Rieng court for questioning, and they were placed under arrest on Wednesday 23 December. The other 3 villagers fled in fear.
CWCI criticized this situation. It indicated in its statement that “the Cambodian government is serving Vietnam’s policy by inflicting sentences on its own people to please the Hanoi’s regime.” CWCI also condemned the Cambodian government in the planting of border posts that led to the loss of 4,000 to 6,000 square-kilometers of rice fields belonging to Cambodian villagers living along the border.
CWCI also expressed its extreme disappointment in the answers provided by Var Kim Hong, the chairman of the government border committee, to the National Assembly based on the questions raised by SRP MP Son Chhay. During the clarification session, all that Var Kim Hong did was to dodge the questions asked.
With all that can be seen above, CWCI considered that not only the Cambodian government does not have the will to defend Cambodia’s national integrity, but it also allows neighboring countries to encroach on Cambodian territories, and the government made all attempts to defend these countries in their swallowing of Cambodian territories.

One day we will return to take our land back from the Viet Cong. They can smile and laugh at the Khmer people right now but we will not forget about our land that they illegally took from the khmer farmers.
THANK YOU "CWCI". ALL HUMAN RIGHTS, DEOMESTIC OR INTERNATIONAL SHOULD ALSO DEMAND THE RELEASE.
THIS TWO ARE THE REAL VICTIMS. THEY LOST THEIR FARM LAND AND NOW GOING TO JAIL. THIS IS UNETHICAL!
THEY GOT PROSECUTED FOR EXERCISING THEIR RIGHTS IN DEFENDING THEIR FARM LAND.
11:17AM, absolutely! Something need to be done to stop this action by the government. This has been spread throughout countrywide.
CPP supporters, yours and your family land will be next after they confiscated everyone else.
CPP, you are the master and you can do everything for your power.
Next election CPP will win again and give land to your master again. Then when you have no more land to give your master you will be .............?
We need a new and brave leadership that can challenge Hun Sen and his government. Sam Ransy is good at hitting and run. If he is too afraid, it is not good for him, his party and social change. If he is too afraid, he should stop being a politician in Cambodia. I hate Hun Sen and his government. But I do not see anyone can challenge him. IF Sam Ransy is afraid too, he is one of us - a normal person not our leader. A good leader must stay and protect his people always from any bad persons or wolf like Hun Sen.
11:43AM you missed the point about SR. He is not afraid but he doesn't want to deal with kangaroo court the puppet of Yourn. He will show up at Vietnamese court, the boss of kangaroo court in PP,if they dare to challenge him. I personally agree with him. It's useless and wast time to deal with the puppet. Do you know that the puppet starts to act upon the call from their boss in Hanoi?
So don't make statement to divert support for our patriot.
The world has seen the Hun Sen and CPP govt committing all kind of crimes; however, no one dare to do something about this. What a shame of you powerful out there.
What kind of authority you have CWCI by demanding the Government of Cambodia to unconditional release of these criminals. The Government of Cambodia have all the evidences of the crime of these people commited. CWCI are you telling the Government of Cambodia to act as lawlessness as a criminal Sam Rainsy? Is Norway that you are base in has no laws at all and people in Norway can kill each other if they want to?
Cambodia has rule of laws, if you commited crime in Cambodia you will be punish here OK. So why don't CWCI tell the Government of Norway to release all criminals in their jails.
What the hell you think you are CWCI?

Hi Vietnamese measthes@yahoo.com,
Why do you accuse the Khmer owners of the land as they are criminals?
Your Vietnamese communist governmnet encraoching into Cambodia, and why are these Khmer people, the owner of the land, the criminals?
Cambodia has rule of laws? What laws? Who enforced the laws? None. The peasants became rich and powerful commit such horrible crimes, and where is the law?
I bet you are scared to reply my question again. You know you cannot respond because you know your Vietnamese thief gov't is savage brutality.
Ah chuy mray measthes@yahoo.com who asked the authority of CWCI. I tell you this is Khmer People Power okay. Before ah choy mray enh go to bed think a moment of those families, the true land owners, who are in jail right now because of your boss. Khmer everywhere are concerned of the lost land to yourn thief but you are alone happy. What ah kbot cheath you are. Next time you and your families will be the next victims of CPP policies.
