*Anger over jailing of Cambodian opposition member*
In Cambodia, there's concern about the conviction of an opposition commune chief on kidnapping charges. The alleged kidnapping of Tim Norn occurred in February last year amid a defection campaign by the ruling Cambodian People's Party, or CPP, which attracted some opposition figures away from the Sam Rainsy Party, also known as the S-R-P. Tuot Saron was found guilty of kidnapping and illegal confinement, and sentenced to three years prison, after spending more than 12 months in jail already. The Cambodian human rights group LICADHO says the ruling is politically-motivated and could have long lasting consequences for democracy. http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/connectasia/stories/200903/s2523492.htm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ The articles and commentaries on this forum reflect only the personal opinion(s) of the poster(s) and not that of any organization or group with which the moderator(s) is (are) affiliated.
