The Cambodian authorities are accusing and blaming each others at a time when there is no information on the disappearance of Monk Tim Sakhorn, the former abbot of the Phnom Den pagoda in Takeo province.
Chey Sophal, the prosecutor of the province of Takeo, claimed that he received the complaint from the Khmer Krom Human Rights defense group asking him to take measures in this disappearance. However, he left the case to the police to continue their search and up to now, there is no news yet.
Chey Sophal said: “I received the information directly from the Khmer Krom association which sent me their complaint, and on this complaint, I directed the judicial police to investigate already, and it is proceeding legally, they did not report back to me yet.”
Suon Phon, the deputy police chief of the province of Takeo who is in charge of this issue, claimed the opposite by saying that he did not receive any order to search for Monk Tim Sakhorn at all: “I did not receive anything, I did not see anything yet.”
Along with the contradictory claims made by the provincial authorities, Khieu Kanharith, government spokesman, declared today that the disappearance of the former monk could stem from the fact that he went somewhere because Tim Sakhorn did not commit anything wrong to earn his defrocking.
Khieu Kanharith also asked the local authorities and the public to help search and bring back Monk Tim Sakhorn: “He commit some mistakes on the rule, this is not a criminal case. Therefore, wherever he went, how can one know about it? The local authorities should look for him and they should provide a prompt answer back.”
Former Monk Tim Sakhorn, a native of Kampuchea Krom (South Vietnam) and who was the abbot of the Phnom Den pagoda in Takeo province, was defrocked by the authority on 30 June because he was accused of breaking the friendship between Cambodia and Vietnam.
Following his defrocking, the sinistry of interior claimed that Monk Tim Sakhorn volunteered to return back to live in South Vietnam, however, this claim was rejected by human rights groups and relatives of the monk who said that Monk Tim Sakhorn was in fact forced and that he may be sent to jail somewhere in Vietnam.
With the finger pointing among government officials on this disappearance, local human rights organizations, and the UN office for human rights in Cambodia plan to hold another meeting to continue pressuring the government to search for Monk Tim Sakhorn.
