Phnom Penh – Cambodian human rights groups welcomed the Supreme Court’s order on Wednesday to release a man imprisoned for the 2004 murder of a prominent trade unionist.
Thach Saveth was sentenced in 2005 to 15 years for the killing of garment union factory head Ros Sovannareth. He had always protested his innocence.
The Supreme Court said Wednesday that the lower court must re-examine the conviction and ordered Thach Saveth’s provisional release.
However, by late Wednesday, his paperwork had not been processed and he remained in prison.
