The Khmer Kampuchea Krom Human Rights Organization has asked state
media to broadcast programs surrounding the history of the minority
people and their culture and the Ministery of Education to insert the
group's history into school curriculum.
Without the dissemination of this information, Khmer Krom minorities
are at risk of rights violations, said Ang Chanrith, executive
director of the rights organization.
Chea Se, undersecretary of state for the Education Ministry, said he
sup****ted educating people on Cambodian history, and the history of
the world, and a request from the group would be discussed.
Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said Thursday the group should
not rely on the state to promote its message, but can publish its own
literature.
