Prime Minister Hun Sen Tuesday announces his campaign to crackdown on
gang members, the Big Brothers, the Little Brothers, and the poweful
government officials' sons.

These people create anarchy, and insecurity in the country. They would
meet in front of the Buddhist temples, in the streets, in public
gardens.

Mr. Hun Sen was angry with the provincial, and town governors, the
provincial and local chiefs of police who are unable to control these
gangsters.

He cited an incidence when the gang members used Samurai swords on
police officers.

Mr. Hun Sen's nephew was imprisoned at the Prey Sar prison because he
fired warning shots at the people who looked on when he was involved in
a car accident. He was released shortly.
