Urban poor residents of Boeung Kok Lake are counter-sued by the authority

Is it a travesty of justice in Cambodia? While the urban poor residents of Boeung Kok Lake were terribly forced to leave their home and their homes were violently destroyed by the authority, they file a legal complain tot he municipal court, but now the authority is counter-suing them on the complain of defamation? Buddha mentioned that peace is justice, peace without justice is not peace; and justice is justice, no one can ruin justice by playing with it.

Latest activities of Ven. Luon Sovath in Cambodia reported by Al Jazeera

Yesterday, Al Jazeera reporters spent full day with Venerable Preah Krou Luon Sovath for his socially engaged Buddhist activities with laypeople and the victims of forced eviction of Boeung Kok Lake residents.

The video shoot, comments and interviewing were extensively conducted.

Please, stay tune for his latest news on both domestic and international media as well as his visiting to the Boeung Kok Lake site for spiritual guidance, preaching them strength stemming from internal emancipation, non-violence and hope to those forced evicted residents. Note that many homes of urban poors in Beoung Kok Lake areas were devastated by bulldozers and arms authority in recent months. This human right violation has again shocked the world. The world can see that the government and authority are having no willingness to treat those urban poors fairly.

Stay tune...
