SOME Svay Rieng villagers facing charges over the removal of border markers – an incident that has also landed opposition leader Sam Rainsy in legal trouble – say they have no lawyer to defend them in court.
The villagers have been summoned to appear in court January 27 along with Sam Rainsy on charges related to the removal of the wooden markers near the border with Vietnam.
But with just over two weeks to go before the court date, relatives of two of the accused villagers say they are worried that they still have no lawyer to represent them in court.
“My husband is very worried about having no lawyer,” said Chhoeung Sarin, whose spouse, Prom Chea, is one of the accused.
