Phnom Penh Tuesday, 09 November 2010
"I did not burn down the company’s property. The charges against me are not fair and are completely slanderous.”
More than 200 villagers engaged in a land dispute with a ruling party senator traveled to the provincial capital of Kampong Speu province on Tuesday, prepared to protest charges being brought against three of their representatives.
The villagers of Om Laing commune, Thpong district, say they are being pushed from their land by the sugar plantation of Cambodian People's Party Senator Ly Yong Phat. The ongoing dispute has led to a number of violent protests.
Kampong Speu provincial court has summoned three villagers for questioning on Wednesday, as the courts investigate charges that protesters burned down company buildings in March. Villagers who gathered in the town Tuesday say they do not want to see arrests come as a result of the questioning.
The three village representatives—Chin Sarum, 35; Dul Leang, 41; and Sar Than, 36—face charges of incitement, arson and conspiracy for the fire. They spent Tuesday in the office of the rights group Adhoc, as 200 protesters encamped in front of the court. All three said they would go in for questioning on Wednesday.
“I cannot accept the charges against me,” Chin Sarum told VOA Khmer Tuesday. “I will come to the court following with the court’s order. I do not escape the court. [But] I did not incite the villagers to damage. I did not burn down the company’s property. The charges against me are not fair and are completely slanderous.”
Protesters say they will demand the charges be dropped and will demand a thorough investigation of the land dispute, which has pitted the villagers against the Phnom Penh Sugar Industrial Co., Ltd.
“The villagers have gathered to unite their forces to pressure the court not to arrest the three accused,” aid Ouch Leng, a land project officer for Adhoc. “They are not illegal in expressing their demands that the court provide justice to them, because the land dispute has not been resolved, but the courts are charging the villagers one by one.”
Keo Pisey, provincial police chief, said police are watching the protesters and will allow will allow them to gather on Wednesday.

Why Khmer people keep raising that bitch's photo. She and her husband is the main cause of the whole mess and the sufferance of Khmer people.
Don't worry Hun Maneth, Hun Mana, your papa will be struck dead by the summer lightning.
These stupid villagers don't deserve any help from anybody. Even to this date, they still don't know who their real enemy is.

If anyone of you have family back home tell them to one another to stop voting for HS. Word by mouth is the best strategy for our votes to save Cambodia.

Khmer people, if the law doesn't serve you or protect you.
Burn it down. Burn it down.
And please stop holding those picture of hunxen, and bun-bitch-rany. Instead burn their picture too.
After 30 years, not one time those faces serve or protect khmer, but youns.
BURN IT DOWN, BURN IT DOWN.
Can Kampong Speu villagers show the rest of khmers that they will not back down from protesting and they all willing to sacrify for the country. Remember freedom is not free... you have to shed blood to get freedom.
This is a kind of robbery not a investment project. Though this so-call development protect people shall get the proper compensation. But the robber actually is forcing people to leave their land and being paid by far lower price compare to the real maket price.
THE MOST EVIDENT OF THIS KIND OF SHIT IS 7NG CASE where people were forcing brutally to leave their home and the freed land is not being developed anyway but just fencing the land for football field with 5USD per hour. Such development is very shit. It's very shamefull to the the Human being.Only the dog's brain can think it's the development plan.
In fact those robber will get the land to sell to foreign company in order to get lucrative profits. Those robber are always use that ways to become an millionare over the tear of the poor family
Hun Xen is very competent to sell state and people's land and property in order to make hiself and his group's interest.
If you are the real good leader and competent don't use your talent to make money by only sell the state's property and land and borrowing money from outsie.
ប្រជាជនខ្មែរត្រូវបានគេរឹបអូសយកដីធ្លីគ្រប់កន្លែងតែត្រូវមេដឹកនាំមិនរវីរវលសោះនេះដោយសារអ្វី?ថ្លង់គឬខ្វះភ្នែក?
Hanoi killed Moslems and took Champa.
Hanoi killed Khmers Krom and has controlled.
That is Viet’s nature as thieves and crocodiles.

United among all of Khmer is very important.
Knowing our enemy who really is also important.
Our enemy is Ho Chi Minh Indochina Federation.
We should help Hun Sen and CPP to be liberated from Vietnam. We must be united. We cannot fight among ourselves as Khmers and Khmers. This is the only one theory of winning against the enemies from west and east.
Do not stand on Republic and blame King. The vast majority of Khmers in Cambodia highly respect King. That is the fact. King Sihamoni has been highly respected by international leaders from around the world. That is the fact, too. King Sihamoni is far and far better than Thai king in every aspect. He is straight and firm.
No one around can manipulate him. This king is different from other king.
Sam Rainsy Party is too far to the right. This party should be moderated or more liberal. This is the way toward unity and winning for the KHMER EMPIRE.
No one is perfect. But must be one is a better leader? Who is a better?
Heng Soy, you are stupid and cannot spell the names right.
