Cambodian court denies justice to family of murdered activist Chut Wutty
For immediate release: Monday 22 October 2012
A Cambodian court announced today that the man charged with killing the alleged murderer of environmental activist Chut Wutty will be released from prison on 3 November 2012. Charged with “unintentional murder”, Ran Boroth was given a two-year prison sentence, the majority of which has been suspended. This means that he will be out in just two weeks time. The verdict comes just a few weeks after the same provincial court decided to abandon its investigation into Chut Wutty’s murder.
