June 27, 2012

On 6 June I informed you about the women of the Boeung Kak Lake protest being sentenced for up to two and a half years for standing up for their land rights, but now a bit of good news: the thirteen protesters have been released from jail. Their sentences having been reduced to 1 month 3 days (which is the time they’ve actually been in detention) by the Appeal Court.
