Attached are the pictures of about 300 villagers from Kbal Trach commune, Krakor District of Pursat doing a protest in front of Pheapimex company to stop the company bulldozers from clearing their land this morning (03-04-12). The villagers demanded the company stop the clearance and demarcate the land where the company would take, and making sure their land is not affected. They also asked the authority to establish a social land concession program for most of them having no land and not enough land for farming.
No company reps came for any talk to the villagers.
The commune chief of Kbal Trach commune (Duong Sarin 012 480 609) who was also there for his support for peaceful resolution from the company intervened he had just suggested to the Krakor district governor to arrange another discussion between the company and villagers in the next two days.
The villagers were back home at around 02:00 p.m. in their hope to meet with the company again in the next two days under the facilitation of the district government.

This first photo is quite symbolic of dirt poor innocent Khmer children wonderously walking next to a big and dangerous Chinese demolishing machine in the process of clearing out the land these children grew up and played on to prepare for Chinese business implantation. Where would these children go or stay, or will they become normad being pushed from one place to another in their own country as result of the ongoing expansion of land grabbing without adequated compensation of money and stable place to live and go to schools. We need to put international pressure on Chinese companies, which account for about 1/4 to 1/3 of these land-grrabbing activities. If not, soon so many Khmers will be pushed into the jungle or out the sea by these vicious companies.
Why don't pour the gasoline on the tractors and set the fires. Don't care about the CPP thieves.

ខ្មែរអើយ អើយខ្មែរ! ពេលនេះទឹកលេចដល់ច្រមុះហើយ!
បើយើងជាខ្មែរមិននាំគ្នារើបំរះ នោះទេក៏គង់តែយើងស្លាប់
ដ៏ដែល។ ដូច្នេះយើងជាខ្មែរត្រូវតែងើបឡើងទាំងអស់គ្នា
ជាមួយ កាំបិត, ពូថៅ, ដាវ , ខ្វែវ, ផ្គាក់, ព្រួញ, សរ, ច្បូក,លំពែង,ធ្នូ,
ដំបង, ព្រនង់, កាំភ្លើង, គ្រាប់បែក, បេសែសិប, បេសែមួយ, មីន, មីនកន្ត្រាក់, មីនបង្កប់, មីនក្លេម័រ, មីនតោន, កាំភ្លើងធំ, កាំភ្លើងត្បាល់,ក្រោកឡើងជាមួយយុទ្ធភ័ណ
ទាំងអស់នេះបាញ់និងកាប់ក្បាលអាឆ្កែកញ្ជះយួនសងសឹក
អោយខ្មែរស្នេហាជាតិនិងដើម្បីការពារមរតកជាតិ
និងយកទឹកដីរបស់យើងមកវិញ។
