| CCHR Says Dropping of Chut Wutty Case is Indicative of Political Interference |
| Press Release |
| Released on 2012-10-07 |
| The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) is deeply concerned about the decision by the Koh Kong Provincial Court on 4 October 2012 to drop the case to investigate the murder of high-profile environmental activist, Chut Wutty, and deplores the undisguised political interference that lies behind the decision. The court has dismissed the case on the grounds that the alleged perpetrator, In Rattana, is already dead, and is focusing instead upon prosecuting Ran Boroth, who is alleged to have shot In Rattana dead immediately after Chut Wutty was shot. |
