The Khmer Kampuchea Krom Community (KKC), Khmer Krom civil society coalition and Khmer Youth Alliance for Democracy (KYAD) have an honor to inform you, the venerable Buddhist monks and compatriots that June 4, 2016 is the 67th anniversary of colonial France ceded Kampuchea Krom territories to colonial Vietnam to continue colonizing her until today, the most painful day in the history of the Cambodian nation.
 
Ever since, the Vietnamese colonial authorities had, have and continue to use every mean and tactic to annihilate the Khmer race and Buddhism inhumanely.
 
From these inhumane acts, begin a struggle of sacrificing Khmer lives in flesh and blood that has been in continuum until today in order to defend and preserve Khmer national identity, Buddhism, language, culture and arts.
 
In order to pay our gratitude toward the spirit of heroic Khmer Buddhist monks, emperors, kings, heroes, heroines, brave veterans of patriotic men and women, who sacrificed their lives for our national and sacred cause, religion, motherland, especially Kampuchea Krom motherland, a coalition of the Khmer Kampuchea Krom civil society in partner with KYAD have organized an Offering Ceremony to 1,949 Buddhist monks and the 67th Annual Kampuchea Krom Loss Commemoration, every year.
 
This year is no different from past years, Khmer Krom civil society coalition and KYAD appeal to you, the venerable Buddhist monks and compatriots for your supports and that supports can be in the forms of rice alms offering to the monks, spring water, and monetary donations accordingly so that we are able to successfully organize this event.
 
This appeal statement is our cordial and extended invitations to you, the venerable Buddhist monks and compatriots to attend and participate in this historic solemn ceremony as many as possible to make it a success and to attain your own dhamma-merits.
 
We have high hope of your patriotism, compassion and loving-kindness of Buddhism by sacrificing and giving your valuable times, materials, and monetary donations as well as your attendance.
 
A Royal Highest Representative of His Majesty Norodom Sihamoni, King of Cambodia, to preside over this ceremony to be held at the Bodhiyarama Buddhist Temple (also known as Wat Jaas), situated on the Chrauy Changva peninsula between Tonle Sap and Mekong Rivers, across from the Royal Palace, in Chrauy Changvar commune, Chrauy Changvar district, Phnom Penh, on June 4, 2016 from 7:30AM to 11:00AM and an Offering Ceremony to 1,949 Buddhist monks.

The targeting of these individuals, five of whom were sent to pre-trial detention today, is the latest escalation in a far-reaching government assault on civil society ahead of upcoming local and national elections, and is a clear reprisal for support provided by rights workers in a politically-sensitive case.

Transparency International, the global anti-corruption organisation, calls on the authorities in Cambodia to respect the space for civil society and end harassment and intimidation of activists.

tranparancy_intnlThe current situation was trigged when activists from a well-known human rights organisation (ADHOC) and a Deputy Secretary General of the National Election Committee (NEC) were summoned for questioning and later detained by the Anti-Corruption Unit. They were then transferred to the court and charged for allegedly bribing a witness in a highly politicised case.

A Deputy Secretary General of the NEC and one officer from the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights were also charged as accomplices in bribing the witness.

“TI is seriously concerned about increasing allegations of political interference and intimidation of human rights and anti-corruption activists. The Anti-Corruption Unit should not be used in such a way that intimidates and silences the voice of civil society activists. This sends the wrong message, not only to the people of Cambodia but to the rest of the world. Civil society needs to be protected so that it can support citizens,” said Elena Panfilova, Vice Chair of Transparency International.

If convicted the activists could face between 5 – 10 years prison sentences. A decision is expected this week.

On 28 April 27 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) signed a joint statement calling on the authorities to cease

USCIRF Welcomes CPC Designations: Urges Additional Designations and Actions

For Immediate Release
April 20, 2016

USCIRF 2560សូមទាញយកអនុសាសន៍ជាភាសាអង់គ្លេស Download CPC Designations in English: USCIRF 2560

Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) welcomes Secretary of State John Kerry’s re-designation on April 15, 2016 of Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, as “countries of particular concern,” or CPCs, under the International Religious Freedom Act, and the designation for the first time of Tajikistan as a CPC.

“USCIRF welcomes the designation of these ten countries. The CPC designation shines a spotlight on the “systematic, ongoing, and egregious” violations of the freedom of religion or belief that are taking place in these nations. However, the Secretary also waived imposing any consequences on Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. The CPC designation brings with it a unique toolbox of policy options to effectively promote religious freedom, and USCIRF encourages the Administration to use these tools,” said Robert P. George, USCIRF’s Chairman.

While commending the addition of Tajikistan, USCIRF has concluded that the CPC list should be expanded to include seven other countries: Central African Republic, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria, and Vietnam. USCIRF also urges that waivers be limited to a set period of time and subject to review for renewal.

For more information about the CPC mechanism and implementation of the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA), please see USCIRF’s 2015 Annual Report.

To interview a USCIRF Commissioner, please contact USCIRF at media@uscirf.gov or 202-786-0613.
