Asylum seekers in Bangkok tell their stories with photos

“I am very happy with this project because I think it is the history of my life. I can take a picture and keep it for a long time for my wife, for my children, when I have a family” - Phea, a former freelance journalist from Cambodia and member of the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, ran foul of the government after publishing two books about political corruption and human rights abuses in his country.
It was a simple idea, really, but one that would produce unexpected results.
Jesuit Refugee Service Asia Pacific (JRSAP) has for three decades ministered to the needs of a steady stream of refugees from across the region seeking freedom and opportunity denied to them at home.
To cap its commemoration of 30 years of service, JRS enlisted eight asylum seekers from Cambodia, China, Iran, Pakistan and Sri Lanka to participate in a project that would give them an opportunity to tell their stories in their own way and in their own voice.
They were given point-and-shoot cameras, two hours of training and two months to put into pictures a narrative of their lives in the Thai capital.
Molly Mullen, regional communications assistant at JRSAP, spearheaded the project by bringing some cameras donated during a trip home to the United States.
“We want people in Bangkok and in the region to understand that refugees and asylum seekers … are completely capable of telling their own stories,” she said.

«បទផ្ដល់មធ្យោបាយឲ្យលួចរត់» (sic!)
Synopsis: The Kandal provincial court charged SRP MP Chan Cheng and two other activists in a case involving a complicated land dispute. The charges take place after Chan Cheng saw his parliamentary immunity suspended at the end of last week. The prosecutor charged Chan Cheng and Chuong Chou-ngy, the SRP defense lawyer, of “providing an escape mean” to Meas Peng. The latter is the SRP councilor of Banteay Dek commune, in Kandal province. He was accused of escape. The entire case started since the beginning of November when Meas Peng was summoned by the Kandal court and sent to temporary detention. Meas Peng was accused of pushing more than 100 families to protest against a land dispute near his commune. However, Chuong Chou-ngy, the defense lawyer of Meas Peng, protested and took his client out of the temporary detention center because he found out that the detention was done without any court order. At that time, both Chan Cheng and Chuong Chou-ngy was accompanying Meas Peng.

SRP-NA Urgent Appeal
Urgent Appeal
November 03, 2011
Dear Colleagues,
We have received desperate calls for help from our activists in Thailand, who had escaped the persecution of Hun Sen's authority to Thailand. Their families were tricked into finding works at Koh Phangan, Surat Thani. They are now stranded on the island with no money and in desperate need of returning to Bangkok. There are still 5 others SRP families who are still waiting to be granted resettlement abroad.
Given that these are members of our SRP-family who took great risk and paid a price for our party and the country's greatest cause, it is morally imperative that we help ease their current suffering.
This time, could we please come together and raise a decent amount to help those families, especially to who is truly in the state of distraught.
To contribute to this urgent appeal, please contact your local SRP-NA representatives. Donation can be made by personal check or through SRP PayPal account. For further information, please contact the following persons:
In USA : Mr. KimLy Chea, (508) 695-6576
In CANADA: Mr. Pretty Ma (450) 712-4998, and Mr. Samnang Chuop (514) 543-1479
I hope that you will open your heart to help these compatriots who are in desperate needs of your support.
Truly Yours,
Pretty Ma, Secretary General

New Cambodian consulate .. or new CPP-money-making consultants? Ou Sovann the CPP spy in Lowell?
Cambodian consulate office, Lowell, Massachusetts.Opposition Worries Over New Consulate
By Taing Sarada, VOA Khmer
Original report from Washington
04 May 2009
With the new consulate in Lowell, Massachusetts, open just a week, opposition party supporters in the US said they were concerned the facility would not provide enough services for Cambodians and could be used instead to serve the ruling party.
Un Sokhom, an activist for the Sam Rainsy Party in Lowell, said the consulate was likely going to be used to open doors for businesses that would earn money for the Cambodian People’s Party.
“The establishment of the Cambodian consulate in Lowell is a chance and to open a door to suck the Cambodian and Cambodian-Americans’ money in order to support the ruling party in Cambodia,” he said.
Visa fees for foreign tourists are $20, business visas $25 and fees for pilots and crew $15. No visa fees are collected from diplomats, non-governmental organization staff, children under 12 and returning Cambodians. The consulate also earns money from passports and certificates of birth, marriage and death.
Un Sokhom said the consul-general, Ou Sovann, who was once a member of the Sam Rainsy Party, could be sending information on opposition supporters back to the CPP.
“Sam Rainsy Party activists both new and old are strongly concerned that Ou Sovann, consul-general, could report about people’s biographies who have political leanings to the opposition party in Cambodia, and he could report about Sam Rainsy’s activists activity in America,” he said.
During the run-up and aftermath of last year’s national election, the Sam Rainsy Party saw a raft of supporters declare allegiance to the CPP, which handily won the election.
Ou Sovann said he would work as consul under guidelines from the Cambodian government, and he denied prejudice of people or political parties.
“I don’t discriminate who is who, or any political party, at all, but only need to complete my duties as an official for Cambodian consulate affairs,” he said.
Another Sam Rainsy Party activist in Lowell, Long Chamreun, told VOA Khmer that he supported the establishment of the Cambodian consulate, but he suggested that the Cambodian consul and the Cambodian ambassador in Washington needed to accept protesters’ demands and report them to the Cambodian government.
“It is good because there are many Cambodian people living” in Lowell, he said. “But we have seen so far that in every protest in front of the Cambodian Embassy in Washington, DC, the Cambodian ambassador has never come out to meet the protesters or brought their appeals and demand letters to the Cambodian leader. I think if they dare to report this, the government in Cambodia would withdraw them from their positions in the US. I think to open this consulate is good so that we can do the protests in the future, because we have full freedom for demonstration.”
Sam Rainsy Party’s president for North America, Chea Kimly, told VOA Khmer that his party does not oppose the Lowell consulate or the defection of Ou Sovann, but he wants to see the new consulate work without political discrimination.
“There is nothing wrong if they really serve the people, but we want to see that service without political discrimination and without service only to some individuals or only one specific political party,” he said.
The Lowell consulate opened April 26, and Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said at the opening ceremony the government hoped to have another, in Long Beach, Calif., in the near future.

Two Sam Rainsy Party activists have been charged by Battambang provincial court for arson, following a complaint from a Pailin resident, officials said Friday.
Im Lim, a resident of Bras village, O'Tawao commune, Pailin, filed suit in the Battambang provincial court, claiming two men, Tep Nom and Yean Sopheaktra, set fire to her house, according to a local human rights group and a court official who asked not to be named.
The official said the men were sent to Battambang court March 19, were they were charged.
Sam Rainsy Party officials said the arrests were a form of political persecution.
Pa Thea, deputy police chief of Pailin, said the dispute was between common people only and denied that any of the three involved belonged to a political party.
