They have called for outside help in order to find justice on the land-grab scheme being committed by the Vietnamese and their collusion with the Vietnamese authorities.

According the Khmer Krom Mr. Thach family, they explained that they have owed some money to the Vietnamese family and promised to pay it back, but instead the Vietnamese family has colluded with Vietnamese authorities at all levels to falsify documents in order to confiscate Mr. Thach's farmland at once.

The Thach family has counter-claimed with the Vietnamese authorities that they do no agree on giving up their lands, and only promised to pay back in monetary value, however both the Vietnamese family and the Vietnamese authorities refused to accept the counter-claim, and push ahead with their land-grab scheme.

Mr. Thach family has expressed grave concern over the Vietnamese authorities' threat over use of force and the Thach has urgently sought for outside help such as from Khmer Krom Overseas organizations,international human rights organizations, and the democratic governments around the world.
