    Joint Statement Immediately Drop Charges Against 10 Koh Kong Land Activists; Release All Unconditionally

    We, the undersigned, call for the baseless charges of incitement against 10 land activists from three communities in Koh Kong province to be immediately dropped, and for their unconditional release. These activists did nothing but peacefully raise concerns and speak out in defence of their land and fellow community members, but have been harassed and imprisoned for doing so.

    CCHR Human Rights Defenders Alert – Phnom Penh, 3 July 2023 11 land activists were arrested in Koh Kong Province for attempting

    At around 11 am on 29 June 2023, the Koh Kong Province's Sre Ambel district police arrested 11 land activists who were attempting to reach the Ministry of Justice to submit a petition seeking its intervention. The petition requested that the Koh Kong Provincial Court drop all the charges that were brought against their community members over their land rights activism, and called for legal action against those who violated their land rights. The activists are Phav Nheung, Deth Hour, Reuk Seung, Heng Chey, Sok Chey, Lam Cheav, Seng Lin, Yoeurn Khmao, Yi Kunthea, Tin Tang, and Sourn Theng. All are members of three communities composed of 197, 175, and 80 families which have been struggling with a land dispute since 2006. One of the detained activists was accompanied by her seven-year-old girl, who was also taken alongside her mother.

    JOINT STATEMENT Cambodia and Italy Must Not Recommence Intercountry Adoptions / DICHIARAZIONE CONGIUNTA Cambogia e Italia non riaprano le adozioni internazionali

    We, the undersigned organisations, call on the Cambodian and Italian governments to immediately halt the reopening of intercountry adoptions. Cambodia has not enacted safeguards that will sufficiently protect the best interests of the child or prevent reoccurrences of the severe fraud and corruption that marked intercountry adoptions in the past. Noi, sottoscritte organizzazioni, lanciamo un appello ai governi di Cambogia e Italia affinché blocchino immediatamente la riapertura delle adozioni internazionali. La Cambogia non ha implementato sistemi di protezione in grado di tutelare il massimo interesse dei bambini o di prevenire il ripresentarsi di gravi problemi di frode e corruzione che hanno in passato caratterizzato il sistema delle adozioni internazionali.

    Immediately Release and Drop Charges Against CCFC staffers

    The arrest of three staffers from the Coalition of Cambodian Farmer Community (CCFC) and the unfounded charges of incitement and plotting against the nation marks yet another case of Cambodian authorities imprisoning human rights defenders for their peaceful activism. We, the undersigned groups, demand an end to the persecution of human rights defenders, and call for the three CCFC staffers to be immediately and unconditionally released, so they can continue their work. On the morning of 18 May, police formally arrested Theng Savoeun, CCFC president; Nhel Pheap, a senior organizing officer; and Thann Hach, who works as a community facilitator. They were first detained in Kratie province on the way to Phnom Penh on 17 May while they were travelling with dozens of people following an event in Ratanakiri province, and later transferred to Ratanakiri Police Commissariat.

    Joint Statement: States & investors have a responsibility to curtail the abuse of spyware

    We, the undersigned organisations and individuals, call on the governments convening the Summit for Democracy 2023 to prioritise human rights due diligence for spyware technologies on the Summit’s agenda. We have witnessed and reported on how spyware has been repeatedly used to silence journalists, surveil human rights defenders, muzzle dissent, suppress freedom of expression of minorities, target LGBTQ+ persons and women, intimidate academia and discourage peaceful protests. To achieve greater transparency, accountability, peace and a more prosperous future for all, in alignment with the stated objective of the Summit, states and investors must act to prevent the proliferation and abuse of spyware. The unlawful and arbitrary use of spyware has a direct and often disproportionate impact on the right to privacy and degrades other human rights and civic freedoms. 1 For example, NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware is linked to at least 300 acts of physical violence in more than 45 countries worldwide. Women, LGBTQ+ persons and other vulnerable communities targeted by spyware face distinct risks of social exclusion, physical, psychological and sexual violence.
