Phnom Penh

Human rights groups on Monday urged thorough court investigation into a case of alleged terrorism brought against two men who sent letters to Western embassies in April and were arrested and charged last week.
Rafiqu Leslami Aka Kalan, a 42-year-old cook from Bangladesh, and TD Taudyal, a 44-year-old marketing manager from Nepal, were charged following a monthlong police investigation into letters they had allegedly sent warning officials from the US, UK and Australia of an attack.
The letters now appear to be part of a business dispute with four other foreign men, who were found to be no threat. But the defendants are facing 20-year prison sentences under Cambodia’s anti-terrorism laws.
