It is a great honour and privilege for me to be here today with all of you to show my determination in “Defending the Human Rights” in my home country, the Kingdom of Cambodia.
I wonder why the human beings born to this world would have different destiny. The strong and powerful ones would suppress and terrorise the weak ones. There is unfairness and injustice throughout the world. The law is very weak and meaningless for the dictators. I wonder for how long for those who love the justice and freedom can survive.
There are peoples who think that we should keep our lives living longer and not bother with freedom. There are also people who think that it is better to die rather than stay alive if there is no freedom.
For me, we must not only bring our lives to defend our rights; we must also bring our life to defend the lives of others. This is if the life is to have any value and meaningful.
I have the great honour to thank and to be grateful to the Front Line Defenders Foundation for all of their activities; especially in providing the opportunities to those who have been victimised to express the truth and the fact to clarify and enlighten their sorrows and hurts relating to the violation and abuse of the Human Right. These have been happening without any limits; including suppression, frightening, putting them in jails and even killing them. This has been carried out without any justice and in the barbarous acts.
I have been in prison 3 times:
2003 – 11 days
2005 – 100 days
2012 – 244 days
This was just because I speak the truth and defend the right and freedom of those who have been victimised through the broadcasting of an independent radio station, which is very popular. It is “Radio SBK Beehive FM 105 in Cambodia” in which I am the President.
