In the continuing absence of credible evidence, Sonando should be released immediately, and the charges against him should be dropped unconditionally.

Report of the Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Cambodia, Surya P. Subedi
Cambodia has benefited from recommendations made by bilateral and multilateral agencies to reform the electoral process in view of the shortcomings identified in previous elections. It is regrettable, however, that most of those recommendations remain unimplemented. Accordingly, emphasis is laid in the report on an assessment of the independence and capacity of the National Election Committee and the provincial election committees as some of the State institutions responsible for upholding people’s rights. There are major flaws in the administration of elections in Cambodia and urgent and longer-term reforms are needed to give Cambodians confidence in the electoral process and in the workings of the National Election Committee. With this in mind, the Special Rapporteur makes constructive recommendations to reform the electoral process and hopes that the Government, the National Election Committee and other stakeholders will take steps to implement them.
