Ms. Ksor H’Ble has been attacked multiple times in the past simply because she is the mother of Mr. Kok Ksor. After the first peaceful and nonviolent protests on February 2nd of 2001, Ms. Ksor H’Ble was arrested and tortured by the Vietnamese security police who broke three of her ribs. Later, during our people’s peaceful and nonviolent protest in 2004, Ms. Ksor H’Ble was again arrested and tortured in front of an eyewitness who is now living in Canada. According to the witness, security police shot Ms. Ksor H’Ble with an electrical gun, knocked her down and took her by her hair and pulled her around a nearby paddy field. Two of her sons saw the incident and were able to prevent the security guards from murdering her at that time.
