Civil society condemn the arrest of CNRP lawmaker Um Sam An

12-Apr-2016

Publication : Press Release

We, the undersigned civil society organizations, unreservedly condemn the arrest of Um Sam An, a Cambodian National Rescue Party (“CNRP”) member of the National Assembly, in the early hours of 11 April 2016 in Siem Reap province. Not only does the arrest plainly undermine the constitutional guarantee of immunity for members of the National Assembly, but it also signifies the shrinking democratic space and intolerance of political pluralism in Cambodia.​
