Alleged acts of intimidation and threats against the Project Coordinator of the Land
Reform Project at the Cambodian Centre for Human Rights (CCHR). According to the
information received, on 25 April 2014, Mr. Vann Sophath and his team visited the site
of a land dispute case, to film a documentary about one of the concerned families, when
he was intimidated by security guards. On 9 May 2014, Mr. Sophath’s filming on site
was interrupted again when armed security guards threatened him and forced him off the
site. One security guard took pictures of Mr. Sophath and his car’s number plate.
Concern is expressed at the intimidation and threats of violence targeting Mr. Sophath
while carrying out his peaceful work promoting and protecting the rights of the families
on the disputed land.
