While we, the undersigned civil society organizations (“CSOs”), welcome the decision made yesterday - 03 March 2016 - by the Koh Kong Provincial Court to suspend the sentence of indigenous community leader and environmental activist Mr. Ven Vorn, we strongly condemn the decision of the judges to convict him, despite the charge against him being completely unreasonable, as detailed in a Legal Analysis by the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”).
