Civil Society (21st – 25th August, 2023)
Eight civil society organisations (CSOs) and associations have united in urging the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport to revoke the prohibition on discussing social and political matters within educational institutions of all tiers.
Fearing arrest, well known land rights activist Prak Sophea fled to Thailand last week and applied for refugee status. Sophea, an outspoken resident of the Boeng Tamok lake community set for eviction, already faced three court orders since last year and said she left the country after she heard another complaint would be filed against her.
