"They arrested him and now he has not been sentenced yet. They put him in a dark cell and they did not allow me to help him. When I brought a mosquito net, they just let me hand it over to them at the prison gate, they did not let me see him", she said.

This is the true nature of Hanoi.
Khmer become second class citizen in her own country.
This is an example of how and why we Khmer is getting smaller and smaller.
We must unite and protect one another. We must fight Hanoi's aggression.The world should know why Khmer never like Viet.
