    A Field Trip's Report in Veal Veng District, Pursat

    mCÄmNÐlÉkßrkm<úCa DC-Cam’s Promoting Accountability Project A Field Trip’s Report in Veal Veng District, Pursat Province May 18-24, 2011 By Long Dany General Description and Brief History of Districts After the integration of the Khmer Rouge forces by the Cambodian government in 1996, Veal Veng was created as a district in Pursat province. Previously, Veal Veng had been one of the communes included within the Kravanh district. Veal Veng is approximately 120 kilometers from Pursat, and it can be reached by Road Number 56 which links Pursat and Veal Veng across the Kavanh district. The road between Pursat and Kravanh district is paved and smooth, but the road from the Kravanh district to Veal Veng is bumpy and rough. It is a gravel paved road with several old and ailing bridges. The Veal Veng district town is located 75 kilometers from the Thai border of the Trat province. The border checkpoint is called Thma Da. Nowadays, the authorities of both countries allow their citizens to cross the border only on Saturdays. Approximately 60 kilometers south of the Veal Veng district is the O Ta Som commune, where a Chinese company is building a hydroelectric power station. O Ta Som is just about 40 kilometers from the Koh Kong provincial town. Veal Veng comprises of five communes: Pramoy, Anlong Reap, O Ta Som, Kra Peu Pi, and Thma Da. Veal Veng has a population of 13,822 people—3,197 families. At the present time, the government is drafting a decree to create more communes and villages for Veal Veng because of its huge space of land.

    KRT TRIAL MONITOR Case 002 ■ Issue No. 48 ■ Hearing on Evidence Week 43 ■ 8-11 January 2013 Case of Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan and Ieng Sary Asian International Justice Initiative (AIJI), a project of East-West Center and UC Berkeley War Crimes Studies Center It was a kind of routine already…* When someone disappeared, and then later on, we would hear that they had disappeared because they had been accused of being the traitors.1 - Sa Vi, Witness I. OVERVIEW In the first week of trial proceedings in 2013, the Chamber heard the testimony of three witnesses, Sa Vi, Ung Ren, and Chhaom Se. All three witnesses were Khmer Rouge soldiers, and each discussed his experiences prior to and during the fall of Phnom Penh in April 1975. They also described their assignments during the period of Democratic Kampuchea: Sa Vi worked as a guard at K-1, the permanent residence of Pol Pot, while Ung Ren and Chhaom Se were both deployed to the country’s Northeast as soldiers within Division 801, where the latter worked as the director of Au Kanseng Security Center. Few objections were raised during the questioning of the witnesses. Legal and procedural issues this week concerned the Prosecution’s use of questions outside the scope of Case 002/01 and the standards of OCIJ’s investigations, especially with regard to the interviews of Witness Ung Ren. The Trial Chamber also annouced that it would defer summoning TCCP- 94, after it was revealed that the Civil Party did not have any personal knowledge on the evacuation of Phnom Penh.

    Fish Price Monitoring in Kandal, Prey Veng and Takeo Provinces of Cambodia

    Fish Price Monitoring in Kandal, Prey Veng and Takeo Provinces of Cambodia by 1 1 2 Ker Naret , Sem Viryak and Don Griffiths 1. Fishery Officer, Department of Fisheries, and Counterpart of the MRC/DoF/Danida Fisheries Project in Cambodia 2. Chief Technical Advisor, MRC - Rural Extension for Aquaculture Development Project ABSTRACT Fish marketing data are vital for any aquaculture development project because it influences potential supply, demand and distribution channels of fish. The Rural Extension for Aquaculture Development (READ) Cambodian Sub-Component monitored fish prices eight times per month throughout 1999, in representative markets in Kandal, Prey Veng and Takeo provinces in Cambodia. A total of 90 fish dealers (30 per province) were also interviewed. Results showed that River Catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), Snakeheads (Channa spp.) and Walking Catfish (Clarias spp.) were the major cultured fish by weight in all markets on sampling days. The quantities of cultured fish traded in Prey Veng markets was less than for Kandal and Takeo markets. In Kandal 38% of fish traded was cultured. Snakeheads (Channa spp.), Goonch (Bagarius bagarius), Climbing Perch (Anabas testudineus), Catfish (Mystus spp. and Clarias spp.), Silver Barb (Barbodes gonionotus) and Riel (Henicorhynchus spp.) were the major wild fish species found in each province. Wild fish prices were generally highest from June to August and lowest from December to February. Mackerel (Scomber spp.) was the only marine fish species in the markets of each province. There were greater quantities of Mackerel in Kandal and Takeo than in Prey Veng province, and Mackerel was available year round in Kandal market. The main fish supply channels were through Saang district in Kandal province; Angkor Borei, Bourei Cholsar and Kaoh Andaet districts in Takeo province, and Kampong Leav district in Prey Veng province.
  • Cambodia: Comfrel's Report on Irregularities in Voter List Revision

    Cambodia: Comfrel's Report on Irregularities in Voter List Revision

    Cambodia: Comfrel’s Report on Irregularities in Voter List Revision and Voter Registration During the process of voter list revision and voter registration for 2007, lasting from September 15 to October 20, 2007, COMFREL has deployed around 200 observers to observe in 400 communes/sangkats across 24 provinces/cities.1 In general, COMFREL observes that both the political and security environment have been improved, although some voters used to or have felt concerns about insecurity, as in previous pre-national election periods. COMFREL highly appreciates the efforts of the National Election Committee (NEC) and officials at all levels, especially village and commune authorities, who have been carrying out voter list revision and voter registration. In some communes, clerks and councils have worked together to create mobile registration working groups to register voters in villages. However, COMFREL observes that the speed of voter registration this year is slower than that of last year. According to NEC temporary results, dated September 28, 2007, by September 26, 2007, in 1,608 communes/sangkats across 24 provinces/cities, the number of newly registered voters was 233,776, which represents 34% of the NEC estimate of 682,459. For the same period in 2006, the rate of voter registration was 47% (273,477 of an estimated 577,205 new voters to be registered). Meanwhile, COMFREL has doubts about the NEC’s unclear estimation on the number of voters to be registered, as the NEC made a wrong estimation number of new voters to be registered in 2006 (estimating around 570,000 new voters while in reality the number had increased to 1.2 million).

It was extraordinarily well organized, totally substantive and obviously beneficial to the Burundian participants. The Cambodian host organizations were appropriately selected and well- prepared to contribute to the study tour objectives. In retrospect, Cambodia was an ideal choice for the study tour site. There are many similarities between the two countries, yet the contrasts enabled the Burundians to place their own society in a better context. Visits to the Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields were stark reminders to the Burundians of the atrocities that occurred in their own country during the 1993-1996 period.
