Kith Chem, the CPP chief of Batang commune in Lumphat district, has accused Mr. Bonnar, along with fellow Adhoc investigator Chhay Thy, Cambodian Center for Human Rights President Ou Virak, and Radio Free Asia reporter Sok Ratha of inciting Tampuon villagers to violently protest against the DM Group, a firm with which they were embroiled in a land dispute. ...
