Sisophon town authority in Banteay Meanchey province prohibited a group of people from holding a memorial service for slain political analyst Kem Ley, saying the villagers had not submitted a formal request.
A civil society official has expressed disappointment at the lack of cooperation at a recent Civil Society Alliance Forum (CSAF) dialogue in Kampong Chhnang province, while a senior provincial official said his administration was actively seeking to improve the situation.
July 10 marks the third anniversary of the killing of prominent political commentator and human-rights defender Kem Ley. Two dozen nongovernmental organizations demanded that Cambodia’s government establish an independent and impartial commission to investigate the murder of prominent political commentator and rights campaigner Kem Ley, a day ahead of the third anniversary of his death. Authorities arrested youth activist Suong Neakpaon, 29, at the event, where he had been distributing leaflets that read “End extrajudicial killings,” and Phnom Penh deputy prosecutor Che Song charged him with “incitement to commit a felony” under Articles 494 and 495 of Cambodia’s penal code. His arrest came a day after authorities in Phnom Penh detained youth activist Kong Raiya, 28 for selling T-shirts bearing Kem Ley’s portrait and urging people to wear them to mark the anniversary of his murder.http://bit.ly/2LgzpyX; http://bit.ly/2LiS2Co; http://bit.ly/2XZLRc1; https://bit.ly/2JyCwyV; https://bit.ly/2Gej5dJ;
