IN CAMBODIA OCCUPIED BY VIETNAM AGAINST 10 UN RESOLUTIONS.WE HAVE HAD HOK
LUNDI, A VIETNAMESE AS HEAD OF SECURITY AND POLICEWE HAVE A VIETNAMESE AS HEAD
OF INTERPOLE BUT WE HAVE A VIETNAMESE PUPPET KING SIHAMONI WHO IS BETRAYING
HIS COUNTRY CAMBODIA, THE CAMBODIAN PEOPLE, AND THE UN CHARTER ,BY APPOINTING
THE VIETNAMESE INVADERS TO RUN THE COUNTRY WITH HIM. IT'S TREASON AND AGAINST
THE UN CHARTER.
This proves his betrayal :Oct. 21, 1986 The UN General Assembly adopted a
resolution A/RES/41/6, by vote of 116-21 with 13 abstentions, calling for a
withdrawal of Vietnamese forces from Cambodia.
UNDER THE vIETNAMESE ADMINISTRATION THIS OCCURS.

According to police the 39-year-old victim was trembling with fear when she
reached the police station to report the attack on Tuesday afternoon. The monk,
17-year-old Thorn Sophoan, was immediately arrested and defrocked. Police said
that he has confessed to the crime.
"While the monk was guiding the British woman to see caves on the top of Phnom
Sam Pov mountain, he raped her," the local police chief Mey Chhengly said.
The victim reportedly told the monk that she did not want a guide but he
insisted on following her anyway. The attack took place in Battambang province
in the north west of Cambodia.
The victim's right leg was injured as she attempted to fight off her attacker,
who also stole her money, camera and mobile telephone.
Buddhist monks in Cambodia are frequently accused of sexual assaults.
This week two other monks were arrested for allegedly raping two teenagers in a
school classroom.
In January a monk was arrested for allegedly molesting an 8-year-old French
girl at the famous Angkor ruins and in August a monk was arrested and defrocked
after being accused of the rape and murder of a 10-year-old child.
There is also a problem with fake monks, who police say deceive the public into
giving alms or disguise themselves as holy men before committing crimes such as
armed robbery.
"Buddhism educates monks to have physical, verbal and mental purity," said Nun
Nget, supreme patriarch of the Mohanikaya Buddhist sect in Cambodia. "[Such
crimes] heavily affect our religion, which is why it is necessary to defrock
bad monks."
Thorn Sophoan had been a monk for only a few days month before he was arrested.
Many young Cambodians become monks for short periods of time without
necessarily devoting their lives to the clergy. They could be briefly ordained
to show gratitude to their parents, honour a dead relative, or study Buddhism.

Security forces, including police and military, continued forced evictions in
Kampot province for a second day Tuesday, following the injuries of at least
three villagers Monday.The authorities destroyed an estimated 230 small homes
in Ta Ken commune, Chhouk district, in two days of operations to oust residents
from a national park, officials said.Soldiers and police on Monday beat seven
people, striking them with rifle butts and sending three to the Kampong Speu
provincial hospital, villagers said.Touch Sambath, a doctor at the hospital,
confirmed the arrival of three patients Monday night, one of them seriously
hurt with strikes to his eyebrow and head. All three patients remained in the
hospital Tuesday, he said."The villagers attacked the armed forces first" with
axes and machetes, said Kampot Governor Nam Set. None of the armed forces were
injured, he said.A land dispute between the villagers in the commune and
provincial environment officials has continued since September, with
authorities claiming that 306 families are occupying protected land.Villagers
say many of them have lived on the land since 2000, and they suspect the land
is now being re-distributed to a private company for residential development.
