Monks helping injured monk wipe blood off brow STORYLINE: Two opposing groups of Cambodian Buddhist monks engaged in a street fist fight on Friday during a protest to demand religious freedom for their fellow monks living in southern Vietnam. Lim Yuth, a 23-year-old Buddhist monk, suffered a cut on his left eyebrow during the brawl, but it was not immediately clear what caused the injury. Lim Yuth was among some 50 monks who marched through Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, to voice their grievances over alleged mistreatment by Hanoi authorities against Cambodian Buddhist monks in southern Vietnam. "We are demanding that the Vietnamese government allows recently defrocked monks to return to the monkhood," an injured Lim Yuth told reporters after the scuffle. A large part of southern Vietnam, known in Cambodia as Kampuchea Krom, used to be part of Cambodia's Khmer empire centuries ago and is still populated by many ethnic Cambodians. Hanoi permits only a handful of state-sponsored religious organisations to operate in Vietnam, which has led to clashes with some religious groups, including Buddhists.
