Week 307. Earlier this week, 10 environmental activists from the group Mother Nature Cambodia were sentenced to six to eight years in prison after peacefully protesting for clean water.
This is yet another unacceptable example of the global trend where activists and land defenders are being criminalised and faced with ever increasing repression.
The right to peaceful protest cannot be compromised. Activists continue to resist state repression and continuing to speak up for all of our rights, freedom and safety. But they need all the support they can get. We all need to raise our voices to #DefendTheDefenders
I stand in solidarity with my friends in Mother Nature Cambodia and demand their immediate release, along with all political prisoners.
