Human right abuses? I heard that human right people are working with robbers and criminals where when a criminal committed a crime and is pursuited by authority, they run into your office. Isn't that true?
Maybe the police and military police should stop enforcing the law and let the criminals do their bidding and then we'll see how you Mr. human rights would be talking about human rights then when your house is busted in the middle of the night and you have a criminal pointing the gun at you.
Yes, enforcing the law has a possibility of excessive force. That is why it's called enforcing, not begging for the criminals to abide by the law. If everyone is soft and wimpy like human right people, the cities would be ruled by crimes already.
10:43 AM, I think human rights are talking about 1997 grenade attacks when Hing Bunheang troops allowed grenade throwers to escape arrests by people. Many human rights groups suspected that Bunheang's troops organized the grenade attacks and American FBI found evidences linked to Hun Sen's bodyguard units under Bunheang's command. Bunheang's and Sokha's troops were involved in forced evictions, beatings, arrests of land grab victims and cracked down on peaceful demonstrations etc.

obviously, there are always two sides to the story so I as well as yourself shouldn't be invested in one side of it unless you already have a predetermined mindset because of your background and your association. Get what I'm saying? The authority people would come in and speak from their perspective and the human right people come in and speak from their perspective. From what I heard, the grenade throwers were hired by Sam Rainsy people to do the deed so it would look like the government attacked them. I saw the video of a couple of guys confessing to it on TVK back in 1997. Have you seen that broadcasting? You see what I'm saying. Everyone has their side of the story so it's hard to find what is real and what isn't. So the truth each person chooses to believe just depends on the background that he or she come from. Get what I'm saying?

Do you understand that law enforcers only act on the order of the court or local authority? So if the court orders the eviction, what you expect enforcers to do? It's called a profession for a reason. When your boss at work gives you an assignment, do you refuse? Just think about that. So don't play the blame game here. People got jobs to do. I am against any injustice but to wholly put the blame on any law enforcement agency in regard to the forced eviction is just plain ignorant. You can't blame people that are there to do their jobs.
What you got to understand is that people have agenda and obligation. I am not saying all those forced eviction are just but you need to not dump blame on certain group of people easily. Look at the issues carefully and who is actually responsible.
11:36 AM, So you mean Rainsy hired someone to kill him? ridiculous! And the guy confessing on TVK? Who control TVK? It is Hun Sen, so it is obvious that Hun Sen invented this confession. Have you heard about Brazil who confessed that Hun Sen's bodyguards hired him to do the job? He died mysteriously after the 1997 coup. Everybody saw Hun Sen's bodyguards let the grenade throwers hide at their compound at Wat Botum.
11:44 AM, are you saying that the boss, Hun Sen, was behind the evictions? It is true, because 7NG, Canadia Bank and other companies involved in the evictions in Phnom Penh such as at Dey Krahom and Sombok Chap are partly owned by Hun Sen. In effect, it was Hun sen who ordered the court to issue the evictions. Talking about the court, everyone knows that the court is a political tool for the governing CPP and Hun Sen to crack down on opposition activists and the poor and helpless victims. The courts are very corrupt and never follow the laws, but only listen to political leaders and rich and powerful people.
