Allegations of arbitrary arrest and detention, and lack of due process guarantees
and fair trial, of members of the opposition parties Cambodia National Rescue
Party (CNRP) and Sam Rainsy Party (SRP- which later merged into CNRP).
According to the information received, seven CNRP members of Parliament, Ms.
Mu Sochua and Messrs. Men Sothavrin, Hor Vann, Keo Phirum, Real Khmerin,
Nut Romduol and Long Ry, and three CNRP members and activists, Messrs. Yon
Kimhour, Roeun Chetra, and Yea Thong, are currently under investigation in
relation to a protest held on 15 July 2014 in Freedom Park, Phnom Penh, that
turned violent. The seven members of Parliament were released on bail on 22 July
2014. The three activists were arrested one year after the protest, on 4 August
2015, and remain in pre-trial detention since. 11 other CNRP members and
activists - Messrs. Oeur Narith, Khin Chamreun, Meach Sovannara, San Kimheng,
Neang Sokhun, San Seihak, An Pakthorm, Ouk Pich Samnang, Ke Khim, Sum
Puthy, and Tep Narin – were all charged and convicted in relation to the same
incident on 15 July 2015 and are currently serving their sentences. Separately, Mr.
Hong Sok Hour, a Senator for SRP, is currently under investigation for a post he
made on Facebook. Aside from reported irregularities observed in his trial, Mr.
Hong Sok Hour has been denied his right to adequate and non-discriminatory
medical attention and care for his existing medical conditions. LICADHO, a
human rights organization, has been hindered from conducting medical
examinations at the detention facility. Lastly, Mr. Sam Rainsy, the leader of the
CNRP has had his parliamentary status and immunity arbitrarily removed on the
basis of a conviction dating back to 2011.
