| | CAMBODIA: One year anniversary of Cheam Channy’s illegal imprisonment |
 | | Cheam Channy, a MP from the opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP), will complete one year in jail on 3 February 2006, out of the seven year sentence passed against him on the basis of fabricated charges. |
 | | However, these offences were groundless given that Cheam Channy had simply been performing his duty as chair of the SRP Committee No. 14. |
 | | I write to draw your attention to the unjust imprisonment of Cheam Channy, a MP from the opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP), Cambodia and request your kind intervention for the release of this political prisoner. All international agencies, including UN agencies, which have looked into this case, have expressed their serious concern about this imprisonment. |
