OTHER BORDER MARKERS SURREPTITIOUSLY
REMOVED
We have just learnt from local authorities
and villagers in Svay Rieng province that several wooden poles supposed to be
temporary border markers similar to the ones opposition leader Sam Rainsy
removed on 25 October 2009 in Samraong commune, have been surreptitiously
removed by the Vietnamese authorities assisted by Cambodian
officials.
Sam Rainsy pulled out six wooden poles at
border marker # 185. But subsequently, similar wooden poles at nearby border
markers # 184, # 186 and # 187 have also been removed by the authorities
themselves. At marker # 184 even the concrete foundations under the wooden
poles
have been dug out, put onto a tractor and taken back to
Vietnam.
As Sam Rainsy has exposed, the poles he
pulled out were planted on Cambodian farmers’ rice fields that are private
properties with the farmers holding legal land titles to justify ownership of
their land. Therefore, since the wooden poles were planted on their private
properties without their consent, the farmers were entitled to remove them (the
poles) or to ask somebody else to do it for them, which Sam Rainsy did at
marker
# 185.
Now realizing they are on weak legal ground
in the prosecution of Sam Rainsy and the concerned farmers, the authorities
have
surreptitiously resorted to do the same thing as Sam Rainsy did, i.e. removing
illegally imposed border markers, which is leading to a judicial imbroglio
illustrating the political nature of the charges levied against Sam
Rainsy.
