Protesting Evictees Demand Release of 15 Representatives
Around 200 evictees from two Phnom Penh developments gathered in front of the National Assembly on Monday, demanding that 15 of their representatives be released from jail.
The representatives were arrested in protests last week. Thirteen of them were hastily sentenced to lengthy jail terms for attempting to rebuild houses on the Boeung Kak development site, which has seen the forced eviction of thousands of families since 2008. VOA Khmer's Kong Sothanarith report.

Activists decry detention of Cambodian monk
Australia Network News, May 24, 2012
Human rights activists have criticised the detention of a Buddhist monk in Cambodia.
The Phnom Penh Post reports authorities detained award-winning human rights activist Loun Savath after he took photos of protesting villagers outside a court in the capital.
Naly Pilorge from human rights group Licardho has told Radio Australia she has spoken with the monk.
She says his detention is unjustified.
"We don't know if they will proceed to defrock him but if they do then the police and the courts can then pursue him on civil or criminal charges," she said.
"All of us believe that there's absolutely no basis for them to hold venerable Loun Savath, he did nothing he was just standing there."
