Appeal

The Sam Rainsy Party would like to inform all our members and all generous persons from both inside and outside of Cambodia that Mrs. Meas Srey and Mr. Prum Chea, two villagers from Koh Kban Kandal North village, located in Chantrea district, Svay Rieng province, were unfairly arrested and sent to prison by the Svay Rieng provincial court on 23 December 2009. The court accused the pair of willfully damaging border post No. 185 on 25 October 2009. Mrs. Meas Srey and Mr. Prum Chea were among the many land owners who lost their rice fields due to the planting of border post No. 185 on top on their properties.

In the name of the victim’s families and in the name of the Sam Rainsy party, I am appealing to all our members, as well as generous donors from both inside and outside our country, to please help provide funds, according to your means and capability, to help encourage, support and alleviate the needs of the families of Mrs. Meas Srey and Mr. Prum Chea who were victimized and lost their lands from the planting of border post No. 185 on top of their rice fields.

I am deeply thanking our party members and all the generous donors from both inside and outside our country who had always contributed their personal funds to provide for the families of the victims in their fight to defend our national interest, our territorial integrity, our democracy and social justice.

I am wishing all our party members and all the generous donors from both inside and outside our country with the five Buddhist blessings.
