The Phnom Penh police gathered and confiscated more than 100 leaflets that were spread out near Wat Phnom Park, right in the middle of Phnom Penh City, and at another public park located in Chaktokmouk commune.
Touch Naroth, the PPenh police commissioner, indicated on 11 August that the police confiscated leaflets and arrested one person who was suspected of spreading out these leaflet.
Touch Naroth said that the arrested man is currently in detention and under questioning to find out the source and the group that are behind them.
The leaflet content which RFA received included: “The Cambodian Nation is facing danger from the Vietnamese policy and that of the traitors who sold the lands and waters.” The leaflets indicated that the names of the traitors are Heng Xamrin, Chea Xim and Hun Xen.
The leaflet added that the Vietnamese people are flowing to live in Cambodia without any passport and they came in as tourists or through the Viet associations established throughout the 24 provinces and municipalities in Cambodia. There are also Viet troops being sent to Preah Vihear temple to help Cambodia in the Preah Vihear dispute [with Thailand], as well as to protect the investing [Viet] companies that are grabbing lands from the Cambodian people.
The leaflet also indicated that, to swallow Cambodian territories, Vietnam uses its spies to kill Cambodians by poisoning, by using [harmful] chemicals in food, and by creating various diseases etc…
The leaflet calls on Cambodians to unite and stand up to chase out Vietnam and remove the CPP leaders from power.
The computer-printed leaflets include the Cambodian flag with 3 stars on it, and the header reads “Voice of Nationalist Khmer”.
Chan Soveth, an investigator for the Adhoc human rights group, said that the distribution of these leaflets is merely one form of expression only if its distributions do not create havoc in the society. They are merely advises from the author(s) of these leaflets and they should be released [if they are arrested].
The cops indicated that such leaflet distribution is the first of such event in 2010.
The distribution of these anti-Viet and anti-CPP leaders is taking place at a time when Hun Xen and Abishit Vejjajiva, the Thai PM, are having a war of words stemming from border dispute in the Preah Vihear temple area, in particular, when the Thai leader threatened to use armed force to attack Cambodia.
