A number of Cambodian-Americans and overseas Khmers from other countries have demonstrated against Prime Minister Hun Sen while he is meeting President Barack Obama at Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York.
Protest organiser, Michael Duong, said the purpose of the demonstration was to demand the Cambodian government and Prime Minister Hun Sen respect human rights and stop forced evictions and land grabbing. Michael Duong also said the demonstrators also demand Mr. Hun Sen and the Cambodian government cancel the Cambodian-Vietnamese treaties of 1979, 1982, 1983 and 1985 and the supplemental treaty of 2005. He said these treaties had given too much Cambodian territories to Vietnam. He also said that the 1991 Paris Peace Accords had superseded and invalidated all other agreements, but Mr. Hun Sen and the Vietnamese government still implement the treaties.

I deeply respect all of your heroic
actions for the sake our Khmer nation.Khmers united we stand!!!!!
To all CPP nembers either you are
with Khmer or with Ah Youn.
I commend the actions of these demonstrators. This is one way to show to the Cambodian dictator Hun sen that he has ruined Cambodians' life, ruined Cambodian national interests by giving away lands to Vietnam and Thailand etc. I hope the U.S court will convict him of a crime against humanity so he could be taken out of power before he had a chance to completely destroy Cambodia.
doesn't work wast of time,asking cambodia to be 100% perfect today is almost impossible like the knot tie up together over and over againt no one has real power because that the system that are using in cambodia.i call blood ties
6:21 PM, I think these demonstrators have not wasted their time, but have alerted the world to the tyranny and human rights abuses in Cambodia. No country is perfect, not even the United States. However, Cambodia has fallen far behind, even behind many countries in the Asean region. We don't want Cambodia to be even 50% of the United States. We just want Cambodia to at least be similar with Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore or the Philippines in term of human rights respect and laws and orders. Cambodia today can only be compared with Burma, Iran,, Cuba and other dictatorships in the world which Hun Sen had looked up to. This is really sad. Cambodia had bad leaders for generations already, it is time that Cambodia and the Cambodian people deserved better leaders and leadership.
6:21pm.....whaaaaaaaaaaat???????! Cambodian don't ask for a 100% democracy in Cambodia. They are aking of some form of democratic system from the government for the peole. After all, isn't Cambodia suppose to be a country of democracy? Not a communist dictatorship like Vietnam. Hell, even America isn't a 90% democracy country, let a lone Cambodia.... 100% democracy? What the you've been smoking? You sounded like a fucking Vietnamese. Use your logic before you talk.
