The activist mentioned that in mid-April, police captured 3 youngsters for the accusation of stealing $1,500 (from someone) without a warrant. When sending them to police custody, those authorities violently punished them for answer. Later on April 19, Boeun Chav was released; and then the victim and his mother went to Adhoc office to ask for filing a complaint against those officers. In addition, Lot Ly’s father also visited the organization and sought intervention of the same issue. Lot Ly and Choch Chan have been detained, complying with the order by the prosecutor.
Regarding to the above matter, Kol Midy was called because he had mentioned Boeun Chan was 13; and actually the boy was 16 after he had verified with his identification card. The other point was related to his assistance in helping prepare the complaints for the victims’ families.
