LAWMAKERS from the opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) on Tuesday were allowed to visit imprisoned Svay Rieng province villagers accused of helping to tear out border posts along the Cambodia-Vietnam frontier – in what they called a last-ditch effort to draw publicity to the issue ahead of a trial scheduled for next week.
While police had originally pledged to block Tuesday’s visit, three SRP lawmakers and two family members were allowed into the provincial prison.
Party spokesman Yim Sovann said accused villagers Prom Chea and Meas Srey called for their release.
