In the evening of Thursday 10 September 2009, over 60 Cambodian-Americans met at the Harvest Moon Restaurant near Washington DC to discuss their concerns on the human rights violations and the violations of freedom of expression in Cambodia.
These Cambodian-Americans came from the states of Virginia, Maryland, Philadelphia and a number of other US states. The met each other last night with the presence of three guest speakers: Dr. Pung Chiv Kek, Licadho President, Mr. Moeun Tola, Labor Director for the Community Legal Education Center (CLEC) NGO, and Kampot SRP MP Mu Sochua.
The 3 speakers showed slides on the actual situation befalling in the Cambodian people: the hardship of poor Cambodians who are evicted by force from their homes, the use of armed violence on the Cambodian people, the melee scene from Mrs. Mu Sochua showing up at the tribunal to answer to the lawsuit brought up by Hun Xen’s defamation claim.
Dr. Pung Chiv Kek told the audience that, currently, freedom at the grass root level in Cambodia is violated and threatened. Moeun Tola said that, union activists who defend the workers’ rights are threatened, sued and fired by factory owners.
The meeting was organized by the Cambodian American for Human Rights and Democracy (CAHRAD) organization to review the latest situation on human rights violations and violations of freedom of expression in Cambodia. The goal is to provide a forum where Cambodian-Americans can help provide their input in the resolution on these issues based on their abilities and in compliance with the US law.

Wow, only 60 people attended disgraced Mu Sochua dinner party.
This showed that people in the US don't like her too.

Mu and Ho we will report you to the US State Department that you both are US citizens and are working as elected Cambodian representatives, so they can revoke your US citizenships.
Keep smiling and keep shining......

How can you say that their Khmer all over in 50 states.
I can't reach them I lived 3,000 miles away. Wait until they get into my town I will always support them 110% half of my salary.
All khmer should support any khmer who suport all khmer. The cpp only support the vietnamese and those who support them. That is biased!
If anyone against the cpp or doesn't support them.
Those are vulnerable to arrest, being kill, or prosecution. This kind of government is physco.
Who supporting you?My ass!
