CCHR Says Dropping of Chut Wutty Case is Indicative of Political Interference
The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) is deeply concerned about the decision by the Koh Kong Provincial Court on 4 October 2012 to drop the case to investigate the murder of high-profile environmental activist, Chut Wutty, and deplores the undisguised political interference that lies behind the decision. The court has dismissed the case on the grounds that the alleged perpetrator, In Rattana, is already dead, and is focusing instead upon prosecuting Ran Boroth, who is alleged to have shot In Rattana dead immediately after Chut Wutty was shot.

Cambodia: The Case Against Mam Sonando Must Undergo a Fair Retrial
The Southeast Asian Press Alliance (SEAPA) and Media Defence Southeast Asia (MD-SEA) are gravely alarmed by the 20-year prison sentence imposed on Mr. Mam Sonando, 70, and owner and director of an independent radio station in Phnom Penh.
