Dear Compatriot and Friends,

Saturday, October 23, 2010 is the 19th Anniversary of The Paris Peace Agreement on Cambodia. Based on the heated situation in Cambodia today, such as problems related to human rights, border and political situation that involved neighboring countries, we would like to insist on everyone to join a Mass Rally at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City on this Friday, October 22, 2010.  

The time is now for Khmers from all corners of the world to put our differences aside, join hands and fight for the democracy of our country. Together, we urge United Nations to pressuring the Cambodian government to honor its commitment to the 1991 Paris Peace Agreement and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Please see attached announcement for further information. Hope to see all of you there. Together we stand, divided we fall. 

Best regards,

Emotional plea by Ms. Somalin Thach, a courageous Khmer Krom representative

Somalin Thach’s emotional speech at the UNPFII attracts the attention to Khmer Krom plight

29 May 2009
By San Suwith
Radio Free Asia
Translated from Khmer by Socheata

In a speech given at the forum for Indigenous People held at the UN headquarters in New York City yesterday, a Khmer Krom woman indicated that all that Khmer Krom people want is to be able to live with their Khmer identity preserved and be able to practice their cultural Khmer heritage.

Somalin Thach, a representative of the Khmer Kampuchea-Krom Federation (KKF), broke down with emotion during her speech given at the United Nation of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) in New York yesterday, while reminiscing about her parents’ flight from Kampuchea Krom (current South Vietnam) because of the discrimination of Khmer Krom people by the Hanoi regime, and also because of their unique Khmer cultural heritage.

Somalin Thach told the audience, that in her name as a Khmer Krom people, her hope is to live in her homeland and to practice her unique cultural heritage. It was time for Viet Nam to move beyond preventing her people from speaking at this Forum. She declared: “I want nothing more but to live in my homeland, as my ancestors have been speaking our indigenous language and practicing our cultural heritage. Madam Chair, we strongly believe that it is time that Vietnam move beyond the denial of our rights to speak at this permanent forum and put into practice our rights to freedom of expression as guaranteed by the very own constitution of the UN…”

RFA was not able to obtain Ms. Somalin Thach’s comment on her speech because she is currently flying back to her home in Seattle, Washington.

Nevertheless, Mr. Thach Ngoc Thach, KKF executive director who is still leading the Khmer Krom delegation in the meeting in New York, indicated that Ms. Somalin Thach’s speech caught the attention of the foreign forum participants.

Mr. Thach Ngoc Thach said: “The chairwoman of the forum was attracted [by the speech] and she shared Khmer Krom sufferings. She said that the identity of each nationality is very important around the world, and this is the reason why security of indigenous people is protected here. Furthermore, we noted that a number of countries also got the attention and they came to shake hand and encourage Ms. Somalin Thach, even NGOs came to ask for copies of her speech. Therefore, I am calling on all Khmer Krom people who live outside of the country, as well as all Khmer Krom people who now live in countries with freedom, to join in. Only us who live overseas have a voice to represent our voiceless people who are victimized both in Kampuchea Krom and in Cambodia.”
