Cambodian landmine victims demand improved services

Hundreds of land mine victims and their relatives have staged a demonstration at the Cambodian community of Thmor Samleang in Kampong Thom province to press for better housing, education, and health services.

The gathering occurred on the eve of National Mine Awareness Day.

A spokesman for Jesuit Service Cambodia - Nobel Laureate Tun Channareth - has told the Phnom Penh Post newspaper that the community lacks even the most basic of services, including clean water.

The newspaper reports that the community was established two months ago after the government donated the land.

However, it was not provided any funding for the development of the site.

These are the Trade Mark of Hun Sen Regime.


Hun Sen, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin are Khmer Rouge commanders.
When is the ECCC going to bring these three criminals to U.N. Khmer Rouge Trail?

Khmer Rouge Regime is a genocide organization.

Hun Sen Regime is a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen Bodyguards is a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen Death Squad is a terrorist organization.
Cambodian People's Party is a terrorist organization.

I have declare the current Cambodian government which is lead by the Cambodian People's Party as a terrorist organization.

Whoever do business with the current Cambodian government are associate with a terrorist organization.

All mines buried in Cambodia were made of China and Russia. Now, where are those motherfuckers? From the investigation in 1995, the Chinese made mines used by the Khmer Rouge contain denoting chip which is product of Motorola. And again where is that motherfucker? I just can believe they still can make business in Cambodia. I have no reason why I use Motorola's products.
