| Body of the girl shot dead by "security forces" |
The Independent 16 May 2012
Security forces fatally shot a teenage girl today during a clash with villagers armed with axes and crossbows in eastern Cambodia, in the latest of several violent evictions aimed at clearing land for development.
Cambodia's system of commercial land concessions, decried by activists as opaque and corrupt, has become a volatile issue nationwide and prompted a UN inquiry. Last month, a high-profile activist was slain after investigating illegal logging in a forest concession.
Today, about 400 police and soldiers raided a settlement in Kratie province after community leaders rejected demands to vacate their farmland for several months, provincial Gov. Sar Chamrong said. The security forces clashed with about 200 villagers armed with axes, crossbows and sticks.
He said a 15-year-old girl was critically wounded in the confrontation and later died at a hospital.
Government forces secured the area and were hunting for five accused ringleaders who escaped into the jungle, Sar Chamrong said. He alleged that the protesters were trying to set up a self-governing zone outside of the law.
Authorities say the land is owned by the government, but the activists say the previously state-owned land already has been awarded to a Russian company to be developed as a plantation.
Accused protest ringleader Bun Ratha said about 500 villagers have been farming the land for years and have nowhere else to go. Speaking to The Associated Press by phone just before fleeing the scene, Bun Ratha said he had been briefly detained last month on charges of destroying private property during a protest.
The incident is the latest fallout from widespread evictions and land grabs that have sparked unrest nationwide, with deadly force sometimes employed by both public and private security forces.
Prime Minister Hun Sen issued a directive a week ago suspending new land concessions to private companies and ordering a review of existing ones. The move was announced during a visit by a UN human rights envoy who warned that land disputes in Cambodia must be resolved fairly so that they do not provoke violence.
The issue garnered worldwide attention last month when Chut Wutty, a prominent Cambodian environmentalist, was shot dead by a military policeman as he was returning from investigating illegal logging in a concession area.
The UN envoy, Surya Subedi, said Friday that Cambodia's system of land concessions appears riddled with problems, including low transparency and minimal consultation with affected communities. Subedi is due to make a formal report on the issue later this year to the UN Human Rights Council.

Fuck CPP bastards, fuck Vietnamese dog Hun Sen, fuck Yuon CPP crooks and cronies, and fuck all the CPP officials. Those evils of CPP hurt our Khmer people, especially the little innocent Khmer girl. These CPP bastards and bitches are heartless and cruel. They will be going to hell soon. We Khmer people will take the revenges.
Khmer farmers need weapons against the Mafia state. If you don't protect you will softly now or later.
In my opinion Cambodian MUST recruit more young Khmer to rise up. For the sake of their future and the country Cambodian need to rise and stand up for their own and remove a dictatorship like Hun Sen. He's a former Khmer Rouge and he never change his mentality to control the Khmer people.
DO YOU WANT TO HAVE HOPE AND FUTURE FOR Cambodia? THE PEOPLE LIVE OUTSIDE MUST TELLING THEIR RELATIVES,BROTHER,SISTER,COUSIN ETC. TO RISE UP AND REMOVE THE Hun Sen'S REGIME. TELL THEM YOU'LL NOT SUPPORT THEM FROM OVERSEA IF THEY DON'T STAND UP. CAMBODIA RIGHT NOW DEPENDING ON INTERNATIONAL AIDE 500 MILLIONS DOLLAR A YEAR AND THE FAMILY OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY ALWAY SUPPORT THEIR OWN PEOPLE INSIDE. WITHOUT THEIR FAMILY OVERSEA SUPPORTING THEM CAMBODIAN PEOPLE WILL NOT SURVIVE BY NOW. WAKE UP KHMER PEOPLE INSIDE.
to 11:00 PM,
your idea is like mine, his head will change we knock him like Saddam or Gadaffi. With word this dog Viet will never change believe me.

All Khmers living oversea send hundred millions Dollars to their families and relatives living in Cambodia, in order to suvirval in this regime. Without more than $ 500 Millions aid, Hun Sen regime has no money for paying the salary to their administration. The elites (Hun Sen's Clans and CPP) will always richer because they don't pay tax for their business. The import of medical equipments and medical belong to Bun Rany (never pay import tax!). Most of farmers have lost their land and the poor Khmers are and more.
How Khmer allow the CPP to cheat and steel this country?

protesters should take up armed or be armed again those aggressors and plunders. Military and police should turn their armed against those who order them to kill their innocent brothers. Military and Police, you are the poor people ... please don't obey to those who order you to kill your brotherhoods.
Hun Sen Govt! stop to kill Khmer peoples.
I thought Cambodia abolished death penalty! So what is this all about killing of a young girl by AH HUN SEN regime!
Bring back the death penalty and kill AH HUN SEN!
I'M SICK AND TIRED OF AH HUN XEN KILLING OUR KHMER PEOPLE. WE NEED TO GET RID OF HIM BEFORE HE KILL MORE
I do hope that is time for all Khmers stand up against CPP that they use the KR law.

Gaddafi used to say the same thing like HUN SEN just said. Nobody can't remove or dispose him. But at the end, the more he oppressed or having tight grip on power people still wanting to remove him. The more he intimidates, threaten people the more they want to capture or remove him. At the end he received a harsh treatment. The fate of Gaddafi was very bad ending. This is also applied to HUN SEN.
Hun Sen and its clans,
They say you can run, you can hide, you can lie, but there is one thing that"s certain...you can't escape death if you are guilty of crime against humanity.
Countrymen,
Let build the crime case and press charge against Hun Sen' Government.
There must be a way to remove Hun Sen from CAMBODIA is a death penalty in the International Criminal Courts that where all Khmer people should go and reports Hun Sen's criminal activities.

Guys you understand nothing. These people are just squatters who occupy illegally the land. They were informed to vacate it since several months. They refused. So they faced the consequences....would you enjoy having people coming to live inside your garden and when you ask them to leave they refuse or asking for compensation? period
6:48 PM sounds like CPP slave, CPP is Viet Slave. CPP are NOT working for Khmer. CPP are protecting crooks and their boss and killing their own people.
These people are Khmer. They need land for framing. Don't bring up or post these kinds of comments.
Government job is to protect their own people, NOT evict and kill them.
WAKE UP KHMER LIVING OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. STAND UP AND RISE UP TO REMOVE THOSE KILLER.
2:35, i had the same experience. I have a fruit farm 10 hectares that i bought totally legally. I did not go to check for 3 months. When i came back, 4 families of squatters came to built palm leafs houses on my land. I asked them to move gently. They refused and asked for money. I did not have any choices but to burn their house and threaten them with my gun so that they dont go back. They said they will complaint to human right. I told them kiss my ass. With stupid people you have to do stupid thing. Period
