Yes, shame on you in treating your own people like that. As a local authority you should be lookout and provide services to citizen of your province. If he's committing illegal logging go ahead fine him or jail him accordingly along with the rest of the crew, why singled him out and treat him with disrespect and physical harm is uncalled for(you'll be punish by a god of your belief or maybe you don't believe in anything). Study your constitution regarding religion practice law you Laos.

Reply to this commentShame on you Lao party-state, shame on you Lao government!What crime did these people make ? They want to believe in a religion that fits them well and that is better than your marxism-leninism . All in all, it's too late for you to come back to your senses.

Reply to this commentWood has been illegally cut in the national protected area near Phin for over 20 years. There are at least 2 vietnamese timber yards on the main road near Phin which buy the wood & take to vietnam.
The police have checkpoints on the forest road to extract money from people bringing timber out. If junior police are manning checkpoints it means the head of police is getting rich. It is a daily occurence and has been for at least the 20 years i have been visiting Phin.
A "protected area" in Laos just means a forest where you pay the police to cut logs.

The logging needs to be totally stopped, the forest must be closed. Any person who commits the crime must be punished. Every one who witnessed the has been committed crime is responsible to report to the Government in due time.
