Prominent environmental activist Chut Wutty was shot dead in Koh Kong province today near one of the areas he had fought tirelessly to protect from illegal logging – the Central Cardamom Protected Forest.

Chut Wutty, the director of the Natural Resource Protection Group, was shot dead in Veal Bei commune, Mondul Sima district, Koh Kong province at 12:30 this afternoon, military police spokesman Kheng Tito said today.

“I am not sure exactly about this case - why it happened. I will know it later,” he said.

He confirmed that military police officer In Rattana was also killed in the incident, which happened while Chut Wutty was escorting two journalists from the Cambodia Daily newspaper to the area.

Late last year, Chut Wutty was instrumental in helping the Post break an investigation into illegal logging and corruption in the CCPF in Thma Bang district and was well known for directly confronting those he accused of illegal logging across the country.

How about Chhuok Bandith, the whole country knows what he did, but he is still an innocent free man.
What is a pile of shit?
What Cambodia needs is a patriotic government that serves justice to its people.
The current government is worse than shit, at least shit does not harm you.

We lost another prominent Activist, our Khmer Hero, Mr. Chut Wutty. We are so angry with CPP regime under stupid and dumb Hun Sen, a Vietnamese dog.

Please UN put pressure on Hanoi masters seriously because the monsters/masters in Hanoi, Communist Vietnam, protected and made Hun Sen and CPP thieves (Vietnamese) have power to scare and kill Cambodian/Khmer Prominent Activists and innocent Khmer people who are the owners of Khmer/Cambodian land and forest.

Yes, Vietnamese leaders and followers in Hanoi, Communist Vietnam are the sources to the corrupted CPP regime and Vietnamese dog, dumb and stupid Hun Sen.

Again and again, the problems were created originally from Vietnamese bosses/monsters in Hanoi who protected and provide the power to CPP Vietnamese dog Hun Sen and his illegal Vietnamese officials in CPP party. Both CPP and Vietnamese clans are the real problems in Cambodia and have no respects to Peace Accord Agreement 1991 in Paris.

If the US, EU, International Communities and UN put pressure on Vietnamese leaders/bosses in Hanoi, then Hun Sen will have and CPP have no power and they will not be able to kill Khmer people again. Those criminals of CPP will be arrested.
