Cambodian and Khmer-Krom people are calling for an apology by the first counselor of the Vietnamese Embassy for remarks he made, saying that the former Cambodian provinces of Khmer Kampuchea Krom, now a part of Vietnam, was a part of Vietnam before France officialy ceded them in 1949. The protesters alleged that millions of ethnic Khmer Krom are facing human rights abuses in Vietnam.
