Supporters of 13 imprisoned Boeung Kak women took to the capital’s streets yesterday to call for their release, but the absence of one protester spoke of the toll the ordeal is taking on the women’s children.

Por Sokunkanha, the 11-year-old daughter of Tol Sreypov, one of the women jailed after a three-hour trial on May 24, spent yesterday in a clinic being treated for laryngitis, which her father said she had been diagnosed with after joining several protests.
“Because she wanted to see her mother set free, she has often missed school to march through the streets with other kids seeking an intervention to get their mothers freed from prison,” Por Kundara said.
