Accompanied by SRP MPs, Mrs. Cecilia Vikstrom traveled to Om Laing commune, Thpong district, Kampong Speu province, the location where a bitter land dispute is taking place, pitting about 3,000 families against the sugar company owned by Ly Yong Phat, a CPP senator. On the spot, Mrs. Vikstrom witnessed human rights violations against the villagers and she indicated that this case will be raised at the EU Parliament so that sanctions may be taken against companies whose products depend on the EU market.

Mrs. Cecilia Vikstrom, a member of the EU Parliament from Sweden, accompanied by SRP MP Mu Sochua, a member the largest opposition party in Cambodia, questioned villagers who are currently suffering from the use of armed force to grab their land by the Phnom Penh Sugar Company owned Ly Yong Phat and his wife. Ly Yong Phat is a senator of the ruling CPP party.

Mrs. Cecilia Vikstrom considered the eviction of the villagers as a true human rights violation. She also agreed with the findings made by human rights organizations indicating that Ly Yong Phat benefits from duty-free export of sugar to the EU and the minimum price guarantee set by the EU’s “Everything but Arms” program whereas [his company is involved in] human rights violations.


Mrs. Vikstrom added: “In my opinion, I think that it must be temporarily stopped. I will meet with other parties involved in the EU Parliament when I will go back and discuss about this problem.”

CPP MP Cheam Yeap admitted the human rights mistakes were made by Ly Yong Phat’s sugar Company and he said that the visit by this EU MP could have negative impact on trade with the EU. He said that Ly Yong Phat should pay utmost attention to respect of land rights which sometimes Ly Yong Phat violated in the past.

Mrs. Mu Sochua told reporters yesterday that she invited Mrs. Cecilia Vikstrom to Cambodia with the aim of evaluating a number of violations perpetrated in the name of the EU’s “Everything but Arms” program.

Hi Dear,

To EU MP, Cecilia Vikstrom,

I am very cheerful to hear you that would be raised this case to the Eu parliament so that sanctions may be against company whose products depend on European markets owned by Ly yong phat, a member of CPP, who is ruling party by dictatorship.

Ly yong phat is member of cpp, but do benefits for Vietnam,evicted Cambodian villagers to grab the land, this is injustice for INNOCENT CAMBODIAN who suffered from cpp.

Anyway, Ly yong phat is an original Vietnamese, he dare nothing to do suffer Cambodian to help his boss ( Vietnamese).

We need European markets invest in Cambodia,Please madam, help us.

As you have known, our leader and members of Cpp, some crasy and come from Vietnam, who are hereditary enemies of Cambodian, they have not changed their policy to kill Khmer, like Sokh An is an original Vietnamese,he behaves like Khmer, but his mind is Vietnam, they never forget their original nationals ,they do for for their nationals .


I am very grateful to you who visited my country and MP , Mu Suchua,all of you who love you nation

The free world is sick and tired of thugs.

Make all thugs accountable for their actions and the suffering they have caused to the innocent people.

My Khmer Compatriots,

You don't have other choice, but to organise an Armed Uprising right now to against these Hanoi's Puppet Hun Sen's families and it cronies.

All of you are in a loose-loose situation by Legal Means.
Freedom will never fall from the Sky. You have to fight to get that.
Hun Sen and Hanoi will continue to oppress you and confiscate your lands for their vietnamese bosses and their own interessts.

And how many Vietnamese illegal immigrants in Cambodia now ??? there are 6-7 million of them and over 100,000 in armed camoulfage.
The Hanoi's Vietnamisation is step by step and almost finished to their goal.

All of you will be Hanoi's slaves on your ancestors Lands very soon.
They cannot kill all of you in all Sroks and all Provinces, otherwise the whole world will step in to help liberate you from this mess of political CHAOS.

I called to Khmer compatriots to rise up with Axes, Swords, Sticks, Knives, Spears, Arrows, and possible grenades, B40-B41 hand Guns, shot guns to riot and kill THEM for your Freedom and liberate your country from the vietnamese yoke.

If you don't dare to die you won't survive.

We must make complain on behalf of all victims of land grabbed to the ICC to investigate all culprits such as Ly Yong Phat, Yeay Phu etc.. and etc.. for them to make arrest. If this ICC can make astement on these National criminals, Cambodia will be a better place for all our farmers.
ICC has just made decision to arrest Gaddafy. So Ly Yong Phat and Yeay Phu have nothing to compare with Gaddafy . We must put one step ahead before they are too late.

Ly Yong Phat is not Vietnamese, he is a phucking Hainamese Chinese ethnic who was born in Koh Kong. This son of the bitch is very greedy and very cruel. Phuck him, beat him on the head with the toilet seat if you can. Mother phuckers!
