Subject: [SAMRAINSYPARTY-For] Appeal for Funding Support for Mr. Suong
Sophorn
Dear Friends and Colleagues;
In light of the recent police brutality against Mr. Suong Sophorn, one of
the victims of forced eviction, we are appealing to all Khmer sympathizers
across the world to compassionately support this urgent fundraising effort
in order to help offset the cost of Mr. Suong's medical expenses as he is
fighting to recover from a severe head injury.
For all local SRP leaders in North America, please talk to your colleagues
and supporters. Fund can be sent directly to the front through MP. Mu Sochua
or MP Son Chhay designated to Mr. Suong Sophorn. Kindly send us a note of
the amount collected and sent out so we can keep a record of our
contribution from SRP-NA.
Together we can make a difference for the life of Mr. Suong. We wish him a
speedy recovery during this critical time of his life.
I remain,
Truly Yours,
Pretty Ma, SG
Sam Rainsy of North America

Boeung Kak Lake Activist Savagely Beaten by Mob of Police Officers during
Forced Eviction
Sam Rainsy Party to send a letter to World Bank to hold all future funding
to Cambodia till solutions are found. Solutions that are acceptable to all
residents of the Boeung kak Lake and not fake ones as recently proposed by
the government that keeps exposing hundreds of residents to violence and
forced evictions.

Video: Boeung Kak Lake Activist Savagely Beaten by Mob of Police Officers
during Forced Eviction
September 17, 2011 - Yesterday witnessed the most violent forced eviction of
Boeung Kak lake residents to date. Early in the afternoon, a hundred
"anti-riot" intervention police officers and Daun Penh district security
guards positioned themselves nearby homes of lake residents. Two excavators,
protected by the armed group, proceeded in destroying homes of families
arbitrarily disqualified from the 12.44 hectares of land given to the
remaining lake families.
Later in the afternoon, as the excavators were on the move to destroy more
houses, lake resident and activist Suong Sophorn was savagely assaulted by a
mob of intervention police officers who left him for dead after kicking and
beating him with bricks and batons.
