CCHR which is a NGO declared in a new statement issued today that the proof which clearly shows that Monk Tim Sakhorn’s defrocking was done for political reason is because he was accused of undermining the diplomatic relationship between Cambodia and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
CCHR claimed that, in reality, Monk Tim Sakhorn only welcomed and provided assistance to Khmer Krom workers who traveled from Vietnam to Cambodia by giving them shelters within the monks’ quarters only.
Nevertheless, CCHR observes that the Cambodian upper-level authority wants to stop all of Monk Tim Sakhorn’s activities.
