A few days ago, a Cambodian man from Kampot province is suspected of being murdered by several Viets inside Vietnam. Following the murder, these Viets dumped the body of this man.
On 11 January, a Kampot-based human rights organization demanded that the Cambodian authority provides justice to this Cambodian victim. It is suspected that the man was murdered by the Viets a few days ago while traveling to Vietnam to work as a construction laborer.
Mrs. Try Chhoun, an official for the Adhoc human rights group, indicated that the man’s death was not an accident. She thinks that it was a clear murder case, and if this case is not resolved, hurt feelings and racial discrimination will continue on without any end in sight.
Mrs. Try Chhoun said: “This is a serious case of human rights violation. Why do I think so? Because throughout the Cambodian history, we and the Viets did not get along well since long time ago. When justice is not rendered to the people on both sides [of the border], racial discrimination is becoming more serious.”
