A group of progressive lawmakers from different legislatures in Southeast Asia condemned the deportation of Cambodian human rights activists from Thailand.
Last Nov. 24, the Thai government forcibly returned activists Pen Chan Sangkream, Hong An, Mean Chanthon, Yin Chanthou, Soeung Khunthea and Vorn Chan Rahana back to Cambodia.
In a statement on Saturday, the Asean Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) called the deportation order a “flagrant violation of international law.”

It’s been five years since we launched The Cambodia Daily Khmer — an online platform dedicated to Khmer-language speakers.
The work requires an annual budget of $100,000 to pay reporters, photographers, editors and web hosting fees. Faced with a substantial annual shortfall, we are left with little choice but to ask you, our dedicated readers and supporters, for help. Independent Cambodian voices are now more essential than ever. Please consider giving.
