Translated from Khmer by Socheata of KI Media
Opposition MP Son Chhay plans to send a letter to the Vietnamese embassy in Cambodia to forward to Son Tong Son, the vice-chairman of the Vietnamese southwest party central committee, to remind him about the promise he gave on the release of 5 Khmer Monks jailed in Khleang province (Soc Trang in Vietnamese) and former Venerable Tim Sakhorn.
An appeal to support Khmer-Krom Buddhist monks and the affected Khmer-Krom citizens
Currently in Kampuchea-Krom and in Cambodia, the Vietnamese Communist government strongly continues to oppress the human rights and freedom of the kind and frank Khmer-Krom citizens. Khmer-Krom Buddhist monks have been defrocked and arrested one after another and the Khmer-Krom citizens have been threatened that their farmlands will be taken away from them. This is the strategy the Vietnamese Communist government have been using for many decades to break up and destroy the evidence of the Khmer-Krom background.
New Year, 2008!!!
We ask.
Khmer Krom answered.
We listened.
And we acted.
We would like to wish everyone during the international New Year, the year 2008 with happiness, success, good health and prosperity.

Brussels, 8 December 2007
Mister Chairman,
Dear Excellencies, Ladies, Gentlemen, Dear Friends,
The Khmer Kampuchea Krom Federation is an organization struggling via non-violent means to claim rights over ancestral lands, to struggle for human rights enclosed in the UN Charter and relevant International Laws, and for the well being of our Kampuchea Krom compatriots in Vietnam - what once was French Cochin-China.
On behalf of the Khmers Kampuchea-Krom Federation, we would like to sadly announce the recent passing of three dedicated Khmer Krom human rights activists.
Lok Ta Koy will be fondly remembered for his dedication to the Khmer Krom cause in Long Beach, California. He was amongst the few who attended the annual protest to commemorate the Creation of the United Nations in San Francisco.
