On Wednesday, a human rights organization declared that two villagers, who were charged by the Svay Rieng court of uprooting stakes along the Cambodian-Viet border, have found a lawyer to defend them. According to a communiqué issued by the Cambodian Human Rights Action Committee (CHRAC) on Wednesday, Sam Sokong, a CHRAC lawyer will defend the cases of Mrs. Meas Srey and Mr. Prum Chea who are currently being jailed in Svay Rieng, as well as three other villagers who have fled. Sam Sokong told The Phnom Penh Post on Wednesday that he will show up in court as planned on 26 January to defend all the 5 villagers above. Hang Chhaya, a facilitator for CHRAC said that there will be no fee for the lawyer provided to defend the villagers because these villagers are very poor.
