Monk Yoeung Sin, President of the Khmer Kampuchea Krom Monks Association, said that he will send a request to the Phnom Penh municipality on 28 June, one week before the date for holding a which is Dhammayietra Walk for Peace from Phnom Penh to Oudong Mountainscheduled for 07 July 2007. The goal of the Dhammayietra is to pray for peace for Khmer Kampuchea Krom people. Monk Yoeung Sin said that if this second request will not be accepted by the authority, he will find other means to resolve this issue because it is a matter of life and death, and of safety for Khmer Kampuchea Krom brothers and sisters, therefore, there can no longer be any delay for holding this Dhammatyietra. Monk Yoeung Sin did not specify his ultimate course of action should the authority refuse to allow the organization of the Dhammayietra for the second time. Monk Yoeung Sin said that the Dhammayietra is not contrary to the Buddhist Dharma law, and that the Dharma law does not ban any Dhammayietra nor does it band demonstrations.
