The CNRP opposition activist from Svay Rieng province who was arrested on Wednesday, said the defense lawyer for Kong Mas, will submit a request to the court in the middle of this week to allow his client to be released on bail. He claimed that Mas will follow procedures by appearing in court and not abscond.
