The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) is appalled by the decision of Svay Rieng provincial court prosecutor, Hing Bunchea, to charge Chhouk Bandith, the former Bavet city governor, under Article 236 – Causing involuntary bodily harm – in relation to the shooting of three protesters during a protest outside of the Kaoway Sports Limited factory on 20 February 2012. This charge – which carries a punishment of between six months and two years in jail – severly underestimates the gravity of the act and is symptomatic of the culture of impunity that exists in Cambodia.
