The United Nations has renewed its call for Cambodian authorities to investigate the abduction of a Thai political dissident who was seized by a group of men in Phnom Penh.
The UN’s Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances submitted a second letter this week to the Cambodian government, urging local authorities to speed up their investigation into the abduction of Wanchalearm Satsaksit, a pro-democracy activist who had been living in Cambodia after fleeing Thailand in the wake of a military coup in May 2014.
