Donors are finally granted a meeting with the government on 26 September. It is hopeful that this issue will be on the agenda.

The suspect in the murder of Odom, the last victim was set free after interrogation.

Activists continue to be very heavily targeted by authorities with arrest with or without court order.

The prime minister who is usually quick at using his iron fist, has remained silent over these murders.

We need to honor the courageous and dedicated forest activists who continue to patrol Prey Lang forest without any protection.

The opposition will continue to stand with the people.

Impunity, corruption and greed will stop with a new government that has the political will to protect and preserve Cambodia's pristine forests and other natural resources.

Cutting down the forests is cutting lives.
