Sign-on to Cambodia's Civil Society Joint Statement


[August 17, 2011]

Sign-on to Cambodia's Civil Society Joint Statement


The Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) releases their Joint Statement petition and calls on others to show solidarity with Cambodians and their right to be heard.  This is the 11th hour – a land rights NGO has already been suspended and a number of others are at risk.  Time is running out to push back!  Your collective support is needed in order for the government of Cambodia to reconsider their proposed Law on Associations and NGOs.  

To show international solidarity, individuals and organizations are urged to sign-up by sending a YES e-mail to joint-statement@ccc-cambodia.org.  

Please indicate your name, organization name, and address as soon as possible.  More information can be found at www.ccc-cambodia.org.  This is an urgent call for global action as the draft law on associations and NGOs is in final stages!  CCC had nearly 700 institutional sign-ons in the last round and would like to meet that level of global support again quickly.  Please circulate this action widely with your colleagues and networks!
Also, please “like” the Facebook page “Oppose the Cambodian NGO and Associations Law” and tweet your concerns.  CCC is currently collecting video clips and stories from Cambodians in the provinces in order to share more broadly in international and new media.

don't do it. Hun Sen will blacked list you. The NGOs heydays are over. It's about time they live Cambodia. They do nothing but socking up funds for themselves and turning Cambodia into a welfare country.

It's a know fact that Khmer people no longer asks NGOs for help when they are in trouble. They call on Hun Sen and his wife Bun Rany. Khmer people now know that NGOs are powerless and a bunch of cowards.

We're the creations of GOD said...

Khmer people need NGO helps. Hun Sen and his wife will be soon over. Keep fighting for freedom.

It has to be under his control because He want to stay in power for ever.You see every time he speak alway use scare tactic and frighten people to show he's the most powerful man in Cambodian

Because of Hun Sen's ruthless, we should not back-off our fights. God gives a Will to choose to fight, to live or to die.

Nobody cares about Cambodia anymore since its culture, beauty and country is unknown to the rest of the world. Thailand has absorbed all of Khmer culture and presented it at Miss.Universe and does a good job at promoting Thai culture, country and beauty. While us lame Khmer's just sit on our lazy ass and rot and soon become extinct and no one would care if Thai and viet invaded all of Cambodia and they would be like Cambodia who? Either Cambodia joins Miss.Universe and be known or become extinct forever. Our Khmer ancestors must be ashamed and embarrassed at us lame Khmer's descendent by not doing a damn thing to promote our Khmer culture and evolve it. No wonder Thai culture, Thai food and anything Thai is popular due to Khmer's being so lame at everything!!!
