Two teenagers charged with intentional acts of violence, damage to public property and insulting public officials in clashes with police during a demonstration by SL Garment Factory workers last month were denied bail Monday. The suspects, 14-year-old Meas Non and 17-year-old Vanny Vanan, were charged by the court last month after the clashes, during which police shot dead one innocent bystander and wounded several others. ... “Why is the Phnom Penh Municipal Court detaining such young boys with no evidence when a woman was shot dead and several injured by bullets from police, and no police have been prosecuted?” [Licadho director] Ms. [Naly] asked. ... A trial date has not been set. To date, the authorities have failed to arrest any officials in connection with the shootings of civilians during the clash.
