Five individuals who were accused of involvement in the uprooting of border stakes along the Cambodian-Viet border were summoned to the Svay Rieng court to provide clarifications on Wednesday 23 December 2009.
Even though last week, the Svay Rieng court accused opposition leader Sam Rainsy and his accomplices of destroying public properties, racial discrimination, and ordered them to be detained, the individuals who are summoned by the court to show up this morning, indicated that they are not scared at all.
A woman who was summoned by the court said: “There is nothing to fear about, I did nothing wrong because the border post was planted right on top of my rice field … I want the court to summon me immediately.”
Nget Chandara, a representative of the Adhoc human rights organization in Svay Rieng province, indicated that the 5 villagers summoned by the court for clarification this morning do not belong to any political party. However, they all lost their lands in the area where the border posts were planted.
