Continued threats are being made against the Venerable Loun Sovath by the national and local authorities and by the Buddhist “sangha”. Threatened with arrest and refused entry to his own pagoda and others around Phnom Penh, Loun Sovath is being forced to live in hiding as a result of trying to provide a voice for innocent people who are subjected to severe human rights abuses – in violation of his right to freedom of expression as enshrined in domestic and international law.
