Cambodia Says It’s Willing to Probe Thai Exile’s Case

Cambodian authorities say they are willing to investigate the reported abduction of an exiled Thai dissident in Cambodia’s capital, though they claim to have been unaware of his presence for several years.

Fellow activists and human rights groups say armed men snatched Wanchalearm Satsaksit off the street in front of his apartment in Phnom Penh last Thursday. He was then bundled into a black car that drove away.

The incident has sparked protests in Thailand over the past few days, online as well as outside the Cambodian Embassy and elsewhere.
