Borei Keila, Boeung Kak march on embassies
More than 60 people yesterday rallied at the National Assembly, the UN Human Rights Office, the Danish Embassy and the German Embassy as part of a petition campaign to seek the release of two jailed women from the Boeung Kak and Borei Keila communities. Villagers and their children used yesterday’s Constitution Day holiday to finish submitting petitions calling for several foreign entities in Phnom Penh to intervene on behalf of Borei Keila’s Tim Sakmony and Boeung Kak’s Yorm Bopha, Borei Keila representative Brack Sopha said yesterday. ... The UN Human Rights Office and the Danish and Germany embassies’ representatives yesterday accepted the villagers’ petitions but said they could not promise to find solutions for them.
