Boeung Kak Lake Activist Savagely Beaten by Mob of Police Officers during Forced Eviction

Sam Rainsy Party to send a letter to World Bank to hold all future funding to Cambodia till solutions are found. Solutions that are acceptable to all residents of the Boeung kak Lake and not fake ones as recently proposed by the government that keeps exposing hundreds of residents to violence and forced evictions.

Video: Boeung Kak Lake Activist Savagely Beaten by Mob of Police Officers during Forced Eviction


September 17, 2011 - Yesterday witnessed the most violent forced eviction of Boeung Kak lake residents to date. Early in the afternoon, a hundred “anti-riot” intervention police officers and Daun Penh district security guards positioned themselves nearby homes of lake residents. Two excavators, protected by the armed group, proceeded in destroying homes of families arbitrarily disqualified from the 12.44 hectares of land given to the remaining lake families.

Later in the afternoon, as the excavators were on the move to destroy more houses, lake resident and activist Suong Sophorn was savagely assaulted by a mob of intervention police officers who left him for dead after kicking and beating him with bricks and batons.

Ok, start the Lotus revolution now. Enough is enough. On second thought, who's going to start it. Let's face it, we khmers are too chicken. We rather face suffering then rise up against anybody. Also, we are very afraid of the dictator too. Not only that, a lot of us still think the dictator and his bitch are the good people. Without these two beasts, Cambodia will collapse. Let's face it again, we, khmer are too stupid. We are so used to suffering that oftentime we just accept it as faith rather than actually do anything about it. It's sad but very true.

So what are we waiting for? Can we start a revolution now? Where are all the youths? Have they been all brainwashed or too busy singing in the karaoke bars? What's wrong with this race? Nobody is doing anything when clearly something has to be done.

It's unimaginable to see police brutality towards unarmed, innocent people, especially to their own race..lack training, uneducated....

People will start to change their thinking when see this powerful video and others. The problem is how can they have access to it. Maybe it can be sent via cell phone.

My heart goes out to Sophoan.

Why Ah Kantorbs, behind Ah Kwack's force, have been able to destroy Khmer Nationalists one by one such as beating up this brave young Khmer, Suong Sophorn ?

This puppet government has been facilitating its master’s plan of colonizing Cambodia by pushing Khmer people to live farther and farther from the city, encountering stiff hardships stemming from the lack of foods, cleaned water, school, etc…Thus shorten their life span. This is another way to kill Khmer people.

Look at the newcomers Yiekcongs who have penetrated freely into Cambodia occupied all the places that possess all natural resource and enjoy easy life while the indigenous Khmers deprive almost everything.

With the extreme discontent among Khmer people toward the puppet government, the 2013 election should heavily favor the opposition parties to win this most crucial election.
However, if the puppet government wins the election again that would surely imply that the number of yiekcongs inside Cambodia has surpassed the expert’s estimate. So, the puppet government got the votes from Yiekcongs, not from Khmer people.

THEN THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE KHMER NATIONALISTS WILL WIN FUTURE ELECTIONS.

That circumstance will leave Khmer people no choice, but to mount a popular uprising against this monster expansionist Yiekcong.

And it come to the conclusion that either we die – through peaceful massive demonstration - after this 2013 election to give Cambodia a chance to live or we cowardly stay still and let these yiekcongs eat our motherland alive. That is the choice we have to make.

Just remember that this is not the first time that Yiekcongs occupy our country. In the past, some ways and some how, our ancestors were able to get rid of them. We must do the same as our ancestors did.

Cambodia has over 14 millions people but New Zealand has only less than 5 millions look at the difference between the two goverment! And ask Why ? and Why not ?

"Christchurch earthquake:

government wants to demolish 5,000 homes
The New Zealand government has offered to buy thousands of the most badly quake-damaged houses in Christchurch so it can demolish them.

Announcing the buyout plan, John Key, the prime minister, said some land in the worst-hit areas was so unstable it would be impossible to rebuild on it "for many years".
The decision means land in the razed suburbs will effectively be abandoned in the city's rebuild.
Christchurch, the country's second biggest city, was devastated by major earthquakes in September 2010 and again in February this year, and continues to be rocked by strong aftershocks which are causing more damage.

Mr Key said engineers have divided the city, home to 350,000 people, into four zones.

The government will offer to buy all 5,000 properties in the worst affected areas, classed as red zone.
Householders who accept must assign their right to an insurance payout to the government in return.
He estimated the net cost to the government would be up to NZ$635 million (£323 million).

About 10,000 houses in an orange zone need further investigation, while a further 100,000 in a green zone can be rebuilt.
Properties yet to be assessed comprise a white zone.

The worst-hit suburbs are all in low-lying eastern areas of the city that suffered liquefaction, a process in which the ground turns to liquid during the shaking and leaves a quagmire of sludge.
As beleaguered residents, frustrated by months of waiting for the announcement, pored over online maps to see which zone their street was in, Mr Key pledged: "The government remains fully committed to rebuilding Christchurch."

He went on: "Since September last year, the government has been working to provide certainty for residents, while recognising many people have their life savings tied up in their homes."
The prime minister said the move was "the next step in the government's ongoing work to give the people of greater Christchurch a clearer picture of what their future holds".

The cost of rebuilding Christchurch has been estimated at NZ$15 billion (£7.6 billion) or more."

I agree, khmer think suffering, by being beaten n interwined will faith will change the ways of the brutal politics, but eveyone khnows this does not work throughout centuries of khmer history, iinocents get themslves killed 

Tolerence, but continue on helping the khmer ppl who needs the support, when our ppl is helped physically n mentally  all ppl will come together n feel strong

How can u build an army when they are not being taken care of? Why cant the opposition party form an army from sratch n buy weapons, form alias with internatinal right groups?

Start forming a thicker foundation, start with helping the common khmer ppl throughout the country little by little instead of focusing on the stronger politics,

Like buddhist monks only helping all ppl n spreading a communtiy intervention,
