18 SRP MPs requested bail for Tuot Saron, SRP Pongro commune chief, Baray district, Kampong Thom province, who was arrested by the authority on 21 March for illegal detention of a person (Tim Norn). The SRP MPs signed the request on a letter dated 24 March and sent to the Kampong Thom provincial court, asking to act as guarantors for Tuot Saron for his release on bail. In this letter, the opposition MPs stated that the arrest of Tuot Saron was very unfair and that the entire case was concocted to blame him. Furthermore, this case should not involve incarceration of Tuot Saron. Ty Sovin, the Kampong Thom provincial court prosecutor, told the Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper that Tuot Saron’s defense lawyer already sent in to the tribunal the request for bail. Ty Sovin said that, in 5 days time, if the investigating judge finds that there is no reason for bail, then the court will issue a decision blocking this bail request.
