Cambodia: Land rights activist Tep Vanny and 3 other Boeung Kak community leaders released from prison following royal pardon

See all tags

Land rights activist Tep Vanny was convicted in February 2017 of "aggravated intentional violence" for her participation in a 2013 protest in front of Prime Minister Hun Sen's house, calling for the release of arbitrarily detained Boeung Kak Lake community members. Three other activists -- Heng Mom, Bo Chhorvy and Kong Chantha -- were convicted of "obstructing public officials". All four decisions have been overturned by royal pardon.

Further information on Tep Vanny's case is available here.
