Publication : Press Release

Over the course of the three days to date of close monitoring of Mam Sonando’s hearing at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court, the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) has heard no evidence that in any ay connects Mam Sonando with the events in Kratie province in May 2012 or the charges he now faces, and urges the court to do the only rational, reasonable and legal thing it can: acquit Mam Sonando of the charges against him and set him free immediately. If convicted, Mam Sonando could face up to 30 years in prison.
