The communist Vietnamese authority ordered the family of Mr. Hyunh Ba to speak Vietnamese when they visit him in jail. Mr. Huynh Ba was sentenced to 2-year in jail by the communist regime court on 19 March 2010.

A source from Mr. Huynh Ba’s family told the Prey Nokor News that, up to now, Mr. Huynh Ba has been jailed for more than 1 year by the communist regime already, and he will be released in May 2011. Currently, Hanoi allows his family to visit him normally, but they are prohibited from speaking Khmer, the native language of Huynh Ba and his family. The family was ordered to speak Vietnamese only.

On Friday 19 March 2010, the communist court in Khleang province sentenced Huynh Ba to 2-year in jail after he was accused of taking advantage of “democratic freedom right” to violate the state interest and the interest of the apparatus for promotion of the worker and farmer class as stipulated in Article 258 of the criminal code, even though he was arrested and sent to jail one year prior to his sentencing.

According to the court verdict, Huynh Ba was accused of daring to cast his net over the top of a mountain when he sued the local and the upper authorities to demand his land back. He was also accused of making propagandas, of protesting on numerous occasions in Prek Russei city and Prey Nokor City (Saigon), and he even traveled to Hanoi, an act that the communist regime considers as disrupting social order and safety, as well as affecting the livelihood of several families.

Huynh Ba’s verdict also claimed that he contacted organizations outside of Vietnam which Hanoi considered as reactionary groups that falsely shed a bad light on the Hanoi regime and that destroy Hanoi’s so-called “minority’s grand solidarity.”

Following Huynh Ba’s protest from the local level all the way to the central party level, not only did Hanoi not resolve the problem for him, but on 10 January 2008, the office of the Viet PM sent a letter to Huynh Ba ordering him to absolutely stop his land protest.

Huynh Ba is a 47-year-old Khmer Krom farmer living in Tan Quy village, Tan Hung commune, Andong Teuk district (renamed Long Phu in Viet), Khleang province (renamed Soc Trang). He was arrested and sent to jail since May 2009 because he demanded back several hectares of his ancestral land that were confiscated by the Viet regime in Andong Teuk district and turned into public farm in 1979.

According to an investigation report by the Viet court, it was announced that Huynh Nhek, Huynh Ba’s father, owned 100,000 sq-meters of ancestral lands, including their house, farmlands and rice fields in Tan Quy A village, Tan Hung commune, Andong Teuk district, Khleang province. The report also indicated that 4,500 sq-meters of land occupied by Mr. Huynh Nhek house was confiscated by the communist regime and distributed to the people in order to set up a village following the 60s communist Dong Khoi policy (Phong trào Đồng khởi).

Khmer Krom ancestral land left over after the confiscation made by the Ngo Din Diem regime was 95,500 sq-meters. In 1979, the communist regime in Andong Teuk district confiscated 29,000 sq-meters of land belonging to 6 families, including the land belonging to Mr. Huynh Nhek, Huynh Ba’s father.

Time for oversea's Khmer around the world to support our brother-sisters in Mekong Delta, the Land of our ancestor.
Cambodia can't help the Khmer Krom, because our country is in the jail of the communist Hanoi like our Khmer brother-sisters in Kampuchea Krom.

Cambodian government should also require all of Vietnamese-Cambodians to speak Khmer in Cambodia, if Cambodia is really a independant country.

It is a regret that the current Cambodian govt is so strong and tough toward its own blood, but it turns into a pussy when it has to deal against the Viet. HS and his cronies ought to be born in Hanoi instead of in Cambodia. That way they could imitate their Viet bosses toward the Viet living in Cambodia. Regret, regret, regret…..

Hello to all Khmers, the communist of Hanoi had no law and lower education regime. All Khmers must be united and supported each other. The strength and spirit are very important for all Khmers people. Remember one thing that the communist of Hanoi are shaking now because his brother (Stalin, Soviet Union) is no longer exist on earth. China don't help Hanoi anymore, trust me!. However, their weapons are too old now. Action over Hanoi whenever you all ready! Good luck!

First of all, I would like to say hello to all of Khmers on Earth, and I'm one of Khmers on Earth too. I love my people and country. No matter what happened in the past, but from now on, I'm begging to all of Khmers living on this Earth that must be united and supported each other. In the last sixty years, we have been lost so much already, but I believe that we still have one thing survived "Our Hearts" and no one can take it from us. Finally, I'm begging to all of Khmers again that "Stop listening and trusting to the old school propaganda of the Vietnamese communist.", and the former (Thieu's regime) as well.

Everyday when I wake up in the morning, I think of the ancestral land (Ancestor's land, Kampuchea krom). However, I believe that I'm not the only one who think about the lovely land we had lost but millions of Khmers Kampuchea Krom have the same as of my feeling. Khmers people will not give up, and one good day, God will give us a tremendous power then we will kick the Vietnamese communist out of our land just piece of cake.
