Judicial Intimidation of a Lawyer Representing an Opposition Party Activist
On 29 December 2011, Mr Choung Chou-Ngy was charged under Article 565 of the 2009 Criminal Code of the Kingdom of Cambodia (the “Penal Code”) – “Provision of Means for Escape”. This charge has been brought in response to the release of Mr Choung Chou-Ngy’s client, Mr Meas Peng, deputy chief of Banteay Dek commune in Kandal province’s Kien Svay district, from prison on 23 September 2011.

The Kandal provincial court has since confirmed that Mr Choung Chou-Ngy has been charged.
