11 people were arrested and sent to Phnom Penh Police Headquarter this morning, January 21, 2014, when they were gathering in front of the U.S. and French Embassy to submit their petitions calling for intervention to release the 23 ( human rights defenders and workers) who have been detained in the Correction Center 3 (CC3) in Kampong Cham province.
The arrested include union leaders, land rights activists, Boeung Kak, and Thmor Kol community—Rong Chhun, Long Kim Heang, Tep Vanny, Yorm Bopha, Song Sreyleap, Pov Sophea, Phan Chhunreth, Phuong Sopheap, Ngoun Kimlang, Cheang Thyda, and Erm Srey Touch.
