Injured to file complaints over crackdown
A monk, an opposition lawmaker-elect and a journalist, all assaulted by Daun Penh district security guards near Freedom Park on Friday, said they are in the process of filing legal complaints against the district forces as they recover from their injuries. “I am planning on filing a complaint, but right now I am focusing on my health,” said Nhay Chamroeun, a CNRP lawmaker-elect in Kompong Cham province who was among the five confirmed injured, suffering a fractured skull and injured left leg after being beaten with batons and metal bars. … Human rights activist Luon Sovath, a Buddhist monk, described Sunday how helmeted Daun Penh security guards pelted him with rocks, punched him and smashed his mobile phone on orders from their superiors during the first day of campaigning for the district, city and provincial elections. … Lay Samean, a reporter for Voice of Democracy who tried to document the beating of Luon Sovath, was recovering at home after being beaten until he sustained a broken cheekbone and lost consciousness on Friday, according to VOD director of media Nop Vy. Mr. Vy said that VOD was in the process of preparing a legal complaint over the attack. …
