The Vietnamese authority has again banned Khmer farmers from ploughing in their rice-fields situated about 200 metres from border post No. 270 in Cholasa district in Takeo province after there are reports that they had once banned them from working in their farms a few weeks earlier, reports Radio Free Asia.
A youth from Anh Chanh village in Chey Chok commune ,who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that on 17th June, Vietnamese police stopped him from toiling his 3 hectares lands, situated about 200 metres from border post No. 270, he used to grow rice for many, many years. "The Vietnamese police didn't stop me when I was ploughing in my lands. But when I nearly finished ploughing the fields they came to ban me from ploughing. They talk Vietnamese to me and I can't understand them. But one man who works near me can speak Vietnamese, so they spoke to him in Vietnamese. He told me that the Vietnamese police wanted them to stop ploughing in the fields and they telephoned their superior who said that if we didn't stop ploughing he will order his subordinates to confiscate my tractor, so we stopped", he said.
Another 46 year-old man said he also cannot work in his 2 hectare lands. "I wanted to work in my lands, but I didn't dare to plough my lands. (Cambodian) border police told me to wait until after the harvest season that I can plough my land and they will go there with me", he said.
Another 31 year-old also said he and the other villagers were prohibited from working in their lands. "After the post was planted, some villagers went to spray insecticide in the fields and they (Vietnamese) told us 'didn't you see the border post?' and then we stopped. And around 16-17th June, when villagers went to plough their fields, the Vietnamese authority prohibited them from ploughing", he said.
Mr. Mong Sareth, leader of Section One of Chey Chok commune, declined to comment about the matter and Mr. Sout Khon, Governor of Borei Cholasa district, turned off his telephone when contacted.

Again and again, our people are suffering, the intimidation, threatening by foreigners along the border. Where is our government, at any level?, these are the despicable acts from the Vietnamese authorities and people alike are absolutely disrespect the rights of our people and our territorial integrity, their gov't continued to support their people and local authorities threatening, stealing, and intimidating our people, again and again for century. I plead to our gov't officials to find justice for our people and to protect our people living along of all the border, this tragedy must end, our people have been suffered too long and our country has loss so much. If it comes down to providing arms to all of our people that living along the border, to protect their land from the invader, let do it. It is noteworthy, that no country or government in the face of this earth that tolerate such an despicable acts imposed to their country and people by another country or people.
Really sad. Where the hell is Hun Sen and sVar Kimhong? If this happens at a regular basis, our farmers will have no lands to farm to feed themselves and the Viet will take all the Khmer lands.This is the result traitorous act by Hun Sen for giving lands to the Viet under a disguise of border demarcation works.
