Freedom of speech, religeous, press, human right, does not exist at all in Vietnam and Cambodia. Now it is time, we are Cambodian American and Vietnamese American stand up and ask American government take an action now, before it is too late. American should be banned Cambodian and Vietnamese import to U.S.A immediately, if they don't release Mr. Tim Sokhorn, An Honorable Buddhist Monk.
