The Cambodian Human Rights Action Committee (CHRAC), a coalition of 21 NGOs, is expressing its grave concern about a recent “defamation” court case heard by Phnom Penh municipal court against Mrs. Mu Sochua, a female parliamentarian of the Sam Rainsy Party, on 24 July 2009. According to its monitoring of this morning court proceeding, CHRAC notes that the municipal’s prosecutor decided to charge Mrs. Mu Sochua of defamation after a press conference was organized by her at her party office, as a result of Prime Minister’s speech of “a strong lady” in April this year.
