Original report from Phnom Penh
25 April 2008
The Khmer Kampuchea Krom Human Rights Organization has requested from
the Vietnamese government permission to see a monk that has been
detained since May last year.
Tim Sakhorn, who was defrocked by Cambodia’s Buddhist leadership
before his detention, for allegedly fomenting unrest between the
countries, was reportedly taken from a Takeo province pagoda and
transferred to Vietnam.
Vietnamese authorities have said he was arrested for traveling without
proper documentation. He is being held in a prison in An Giang
province, officials have said.
Ang Chanrith, executive director of the Khmer Krom advocacy group,
said he had written a request to the Vietnamese Embassy to check on
Tim Sakhorn’s condition, and to bring him some food.
Vietnamese Embassy officials could not be reached for comment Friday.
