Cambodia: UN experts call for the immediate release of five human rights defenders 

 

The use of criminal provisions as a pretext to suppress and prevent the legitimate exercise of the right to freedom of expression and to silence human rights defenders is incompatible with article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, (ICCPR), which has been signed by Cambodia,said the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Cambodia, Rhona Smith.
