LAND DISPUTE

The family of a pregnant woman detained in connection with a land dispute in Oddar Meanchey province say they are worried about her health while in custody. Huoy Mai, 46, was arrested on Saturday after being accused of illegally cutting down trees on land at the centre of an ongoing dispute with the Angkor Sugar Company, owned by CPP Senator Ly Yongphat. An Srean, Huoy Mai’s husband and a community representative, said he was worried about the health of his wife, who is five months pregnant. “Before her arrest she was reluctant to eat, so I don’t know what will happen to her while she is detained in prison,” he said. In early October, armed authorities bulldozed the property and burned the houses of 214 families living on a 1,500-hectare plot claimed by Angkor Sugar. Ty Sovinthal, a Siem Reap court prosecutor, said Huoy Mai would be remanded into custody pending further investigation. “Nobody knows that she is pregnant, but it doesn’t matter because in the prison they have good health services,” he said. “If she has any problems, they will report it to me.”

stop being so greedy already. how about doing something to help cambodia out of poverty for a good cause. maybe people will appreciate you and you will feel better about yourself as well, really! don't be so selfish. if you have ego, at least use it to benefit cambodia and our people, not the other way, really!

Cambodia is the haven for the abusers. No where else in the world the abusers can strive but in Cambodia.

All Khmers,

An arm uprising against Hun Sen's Hanoi's puppet Regime working alongside with non-violence is the best and only one solution to solve this Hanoi's Vietnamisation of Cambodia.

All ex-KPNLF has to REUNITE back together to this cause, the Survival of Cambodia as a Country of our birth.

Watchout! People travel to cambodia must be careful. You might set up for ransom by the officials. It could ruin your family for ever. Stay away

oh shut up. stop trying to influent people's choices. seeing is believing. in this days and age, it is not smart to buy unfound rumor or go with political bias. we all know some comments are politically motivated. hey, people are not that stupid, you know. ]

now as for "abusers" in cambodia or whatever, one should wonder why. only the law can curb such allegation. people will go whatever if they can get away with it, however, if there is a law against it, they will think twice, i'm sure. now education is the key, really!
