Four years after the murder of trade union leader Chea Vichea and the wrongful arrests of Born Samnang and Sok Sam Oeun for that crime, Cambodian civil society organizations are deeply disappointed by the lack of justice in this case. The denial of justice to the family of Chea Vichea, and the continued imprisonment of Born Samnang and Sok Sam Oeun despite overwhelming evidence of their innocence, reflects poorly on the state of rule of law in Cambodia. The longer that this situation continues, the greater the injustice suffered by these individuals, and the greater the damage done to the reputation of Cambodia’s justice system.
