The Phnom Penh Post
A Kampuchea Krom monk was issued a summons yesterday to appear in a Phnom Penh court tomorrow to face accusations of incitement.
In a letter obtained by the Post yesterday, the investigating municipal judge, Duch Kimson, ordered Sieng Sovannra (pictured), a monk at the Samaki Raingsey pagoda, to attend an inquiry into his role in a protest led by Stung Meachey villagers and his fellow monks over a land dispute with a wealthy trader.
Duch Kimson said the summons marked the opening of an inquiry into the case.
He was not able to comment on the identity of the plaintiff, but said the case was filed “according to procedure.”
