CAMBODIA: Khmer minority group claims rights abuse

A minority group in Vietnam and Cambodia says its people are being
subjected to human rights abuses and they're living in fear. The Khmer
Krom in Vietnam want religious freedom and say 19 Khmer Krom monks
have been detained since February. Meanwhile, the Khmer Krom in
Cambodia say Phnom Penh has been heavy handed in its response to
protests they've held outside the Vietnamese embassy.
