Phnom Penh – A land rights activist who went missing for more than two months has turned up after being spotted in Preah Sihanouk province where he was working in construction, officials have claimed.
Sum Moeun’s disappearance prompted concern from rights groups including Human Rights Watch, who suspected Moeun had “disappeared” by state security forces over his activism.
But the Preah Vihear local’s reappearance appears to have put to bed the suggestion that the security forces were involved in his absence from public life.
