Cambodia Bars Environmental Activists From Recieving Award
Posted on 2023-10-03 13:11:13
A court in Cambodia has barred three environmental activists from traveling to Sweden next month to receive the prestigious Right Livelihood Award.
A copy of a letter from the Phnom Penh Municipal Court’s chief prosecutor said in response to a travel request from the members of the group Mother Nature Cambodia that the trip was “not necessary.”
Mother Nature Cambodia was named a co-winner of the award often referred to as the “Alternative Nobel” along with a Kenyan community activist and a European humanitarian group that rescues migrants in the Mediterranean Sea.
The three activists were convicted of incitement to commit a felony for their activities in 2017-2020 to protect Cambodia's natural resources.
