A Khmer Krom activist who led protests to demand the return of Khmer Krom farmlands back is currently facing arrest by the Viet cops.

A Khmer Krom farmer is currently in hiding after 4 uniformed Viet cops came looking to arrest him in the evening of 09 September because he led protests to demand back his ancestral farmlands that were confiscated by the Viet authority, and also because he always sent out information on protests and on human rights violations by the Viet authority to the outside world.

The Khmer Krom farmer from An Cu commune, Tinh Bien district, Motr Chrouk province (renamed An Giang in Vietnamese), who declined to provide his name, told RFA over the phone that he now has no safety at all: “They asked me why did I yell to let the International community know about their internal affairs? I will still continue to yell because I lost all my farmlands and the authority did not provide any resolution for me.”

RFA contacted the Viet embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to ask them to clarify whether the living condition for the Khmer Krom families is tense as claimed or not, however the person who answered the phone claimed that the Viet embassy spokesperson was not at his office.

Thach Setha, President of the Khmer Kampuchea Krom Community association in Cambodia, said: “I am very concerned because this is the habit of the commies, they place under surveillance those who stood up to protest, such action is an indicator for them to conduct their close surveillance, and it will conclude with an arrest. I am very concerned about his safety.”

The same Khmer Krom farmer indicated that he led numerous protests since 2007 to demand the return of the ancestral farmlands. The protests were held in Prey Nokor city (renamed Ho Chi Minh City by the occupying Viet regime) and in Hanoi. Furthermore, he always criticized the Viet authority for its freedom rights violations on Khmer Krom families

CAMBODIA’S first Vietnamese supermarket will open its doors to customers next month, its administration manager said yesterday.

The US$3 million two-storey complex has been built on Phnom Penh’s Monivong Boulevard, in Boeung Keng Kang 3, near the Vietnamese embassy, and is owned by an investor from a firm called Z38 Co.

“It is the first Vietnamese supermarket to open in Cambodia. We will provide good service to the clients,” Keo Rithy Thy, administration manager for the store said.

Despite its roots, the store, which will house around 100 booths for rent in 3,264 square metres of space, will not confine itself to selling Vietnamese products.

“We’re selling mix products come from abroad,” said the manager.

Chinese and Thai products will also be for sale at the complex, which is named simply Vietnamese Supermarket.

According to publicity for the store, it intends to sell bags, clothes, shoes, jewellery, toys, furniture, food and beverages.
Competitors are taking stock of the development.

“I’m not worrying anything because we have different products imported from abroad,” Chheang Meng, General Manager of Bayon Supermarket in Phnom Penh, said yesterday.

“We always give the best services to our clients and make clients feel confident with high quality standard goods,” he said.

A Khmer-Krom Youth Killed in Kampuchea-Krom Because He is Khmer

Sunday, September 05, 2010
Source: The Khmer Krom Network

In Kampuchea-Krom, most of the Khmer-Krom youths drop out of school after finishing their middle school or even earlier because they have to find works to support their family. The Khmer-Krom youths cannot find works in their villages. They have to leave their beloved villages to look for works in the factories near Prey Nokor (Sai Gon) City, rubber plantations, or even working as servants for the Vietnamese families. Whatever job they can find, they are willing to take even it is under paid, so they can earn some money to support their family.

On September 2, 2010, twenty two Khmer-Krom youths from Moth-Chrouk (An Giang) province who were working for a rubber plantation in Raung Domrei (Tay Ninh) province received day off because it was the Vietnamese National Holiday (Vietnamese Independence Day). They left their rubber plantation to enjoy the holiday break at night. Unfortunate, they were attacked by the Vietnamese local people. One Khmer-Krom Youth was killed. Eleven others are injured, but two of them are severely injured.

According to the World Khmer Radio, the Khmer-Krom Youth who was killed was Chau Net. The other two youths who are currently severely injured are Chau Phat and Chau Keo. The reason that Chau Net was killed because he was asked by the Vietnamese people who was he? He answered, "I am Khmer" in Vietnamese. After hearing that Mr. Chau Net is Khmer, without any reasons, the Vietnamese local people in that town started attacking him and his friends with swords and axes.

It was a violent attack and also a murder case, but the Vietnamese police did not come to protect the Khmer-Krom youths because Vietnamese authorities always treat the Khmer-Krom as second-class in their society. Thus, the Vietnamese authorities do not take any action to protect Khmer-Krom youths and bring the killers to face justice.

Recently, accusations have been leveled that Khmer Krom families [in South Vietnam] suffer various types of discriminations, but now, report indicated that a Khmer Krom man was killed and 11 other Khmer Krom people were injured.

A Khmer Krom man was killed and 11 others were injured when they were beat up by a mob of several dozens of Viets armed with batons and knives. The incident took place on 2 September at a rubber plantation in Dong Nai province, Vietnam.

Chau Net was the 25-year-old Khmer Krom man who was killed, he was a worker at the rubber plantation, and he passed away at a hospital in Prey Nokor city (renamed Ho Chi Minh city, HCMC, by the occupying Viet regime).

The other 11 Khmer Krom men who were injured, were also beaten by the same Viet mob.

No official source would confirm the reason of this mob attack, but the victims’ families and villagers indicated that the attack was due to discrimination and contempt on Khmer Krom people that led to this violent dispute.

The father of the victim who declined to provide his name and who lives in Chau Lang commune, Svay tong district, Motr Chrouk province (renamed An Giang by the occupying Viet force), Kampuchea Krom land, told RFA over the phone on 03 September: “They had a grudge against us that was why they took it out on us.”

The remain of the man killed and the 11 other Khmer Krom injured men were transported from Prey Nokor city (HCMC) to their native village in Motr Chrouk province on 03 September.

Khmer Krom villagers form An Cu commune, Tinh Bien district, Motr Chrouk province, indicated: “He was going out at night time, an entire village of Yuons came to attack him. They hacked him with swords. They looked down on Khmer people, they saw us being poor and we went to work to earn a living that way.”

Thach Chhuon Yath, Director of the investigation unit of the Khmer Kampuchea Krom Human Rights Defense Association in Cambodia, said that such action would spread if they are not prevented: “If the [Viet] government cannot provide protection, if it cannot prevent such action, then it will be the [Hanoi] regime’s fault also.”

He insisted that the Viet authority should take measures to arrest the criminals and bring them to face justice in Vietnam.

No official source would confirm the reason of this mob attack, but the victims’ families and villagers indicated that the attack was due to discrimination and contempt on Khmer Krom people that led to this violent dispute.

The father of the victim who declined to provide his name and who lives in Chau Lang commune, Svay tong district, Motr Chrouk province (renamed An Giang by the occupying Viet force), Kampuchea Krom land, told RFA over the phone on 03 September: “They had a grudge against us that was why they took it out on us.”

The remain of the man killed and the 11 other Khmer Krom injured men were transported from Prey Nokor city (HCMC) to their native village in Motr Chrouk province on 03 September.

Khmer Krom villagers form An Cu commune, Tinh Bien district, Motr Chrouk province, indicated: “He was going out at night time, an entire village of Yuons came to attack him. They hacked him with swords. They looked down on Khmer people, they saw us being poor and we went to work to earn a living that way.”

Thach Chhuon Yath, Director of the investigation unit of the Khmer Kampuchea Krom Human Rights Defense Association in Cambodia, said that such action would spread if they are not prevented: “If the [Viet] government cannot provide protection, if it cannot prevent such action, then it will be the [Hanoi] regime’s fault also.”

He insisted that the Viet authority should take measures to arrest the criminals and bring them to face justice in Vietnam.
