PRIME Minister Hun Sen vowed Tuesday to have arrested the distributors of 600 anti-Vietnamese leaflets found on the grounds of a high school in Takeo province the day before, adding that he believed the perpetrators had fled to Thailand but were plotting future leafleting missions.
“To the group of leaflet distributors: Be careful, I will arrest you,” the premier said before an audience of several hundred at the inauguration of a stretch of National Road 1 in Kandal province. “I have already determined that the leaflets cursed January 7, and if you distribute more I will order your arrest,” he added.
A copy of one of the leaflets obtained Monday asserted that January 7, 1979, the day the Khmer Rouge regime was overthrown, should be remembered as the day Cambodia was invaded and occupied by the Vietnamese.
“January 7 is the day that Khmers fell into the iron grip of the communist [Vietnamese] who abused and occupied Cambodia,” the leaflet reads.
“The communist dictatorship regime of Hun Sen is a puppet of the communist [Vietnamese], since they were installed by the [Vietnamese] when they came to power on January 7, 1979.”
