On 20 August 2007, Lieutenant Colonel, Mr. Mai Van Noi, issued a note to summon Mr. Chau In to meet the police authorities of Tinh Bien district, An Giang province. According to the source from Kampuchea-Krom, the summon note did not state the reasons to why Mr. Chau In was expected to meet with the police. Khmer Krom residents living at Sa-Ke Douch Commune, An Cu Village are fearful that Mr. Chau In will be falsely accused of an injustice alleged crime. Mr. Chau In was amongst hundreds of farmers from the area known to file numerous complaints to the police demanding for the return of their ancestral farmlands. He has participated in a number of peaceful demonstrations since late last year, and earlier this year, demanding that Vietnamese authorities keep their promises to resolve their land issues. To this date, the land issues remains unsolved and Khmer Krom farmers like Mr. Chau continue to be intimated and harassed for using human rights instruments to exercise their rights. Khmer Krom people abroad are seeking the help of the international communities, foreign embassies in Vietnam, human rights organisations to help protect Mr. Chau In and hundreds of Khmer Krom people who are living in extreme poverty as a result of land confiscation by Vietnamese authorities. The current state of Mr. Chau In remains unknown at this point. Related articles: Over Three Hundred Protests As Vietnam Says No to Land Claims Khmer-Krom march bare footed for land rights
