The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) is gravely concerned at the apparent lack of action by the prosecutor in two recent serious criminal cases in Cambodia. It wishes to remind the prosecutor that the state is obliged to prosecute all cases where sufficient evidence exists of criminal wrongdoing, without regard to the payment of money by the accused to the victim, the status of the accused as state officers, or other factors. In fact, in such cases the state as a special obligation to ensure that prosecution follows.
