Dr. Gaffar Peang-Meth :: killing of Chut Wutty

The European Union expressed concerns over "an increased use of force,
particularly the use of firearms" by security forces. The Cambodian
League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights claims the
killing of Wutty "marks the seventh time since November 2011, that
state security forces around the country have opened fire during
protests or on Cambodian citizens exercising their civil rights," and
that "All of the perpetrators appear to have acted in the course of
protecting business interests."
