Paris-Geneva, July 21, 2016 - The Cambodian Government must immediately release five prominent human rights defenders who are currently arbitrarily detained based on trumped-up charges that stem solely from their human rights activities, the Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders (an FIDH-OMCT partnership) said today. The call was made following a three-day mission conducted by the Observatory in Phnom Penh. The Observatory also calls on the authorities to end threats, intimidation, and harassment against human rights defenders in the country.
