Balloons released to urge freedom for two Cambodian prisoners

Phnom Penh - Cambodian human rights group Licadho released 1,700 white balloons outside a prison in the capital Tuesday to draw attention to the plight of two men it said were wrongly convicted of the 2004 murder of a union leader.

The number of balloons represented the total days that Sok Sam Oeun and Born Samnang have served in jail for the January 2004 murder of Chea Vichea, after being sentenced to 20 years in prison in August 2005.

They were convicted despite having apparently watertight alibis. The police officer in charge of their prosecution, Heng Pov, has subsequently been sacked and is now himself in jail on charges including corruption, murder, attempted murder and kidnap.
