Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) parliamentarians have written to Bernard Accoyer, president of the French National Assembly, asking him to release documents relating to the 1949 agreement handing Cambodia's southern territories - also known as Kampuchea Krom - to Vietnam. "Since Vietnam has colonised the Kampuchea Krom territories, the Vietnamese government has ... abused the human rights and religious freedoms of Khmer Kampuchea Krom citizens, who are the owners of the territory," the SRP said in the June 25 letter.
