CCHR Says Dropping of Chut Wutty Case is Indicative of Political Interference
The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) is deeply concerned about the decision by the Koh Kong Provincial Court on 4 October 2012 to drop the case to investigate the murder of high-profile environmental activist, Chut Wutty, and deplores the undisguised political interference that lies behind the decision.
