A police official from the coastal town of Kep will answer questions
in court Wednesday over his alleged role in a land dispute.
Pring Pov, whom rights groups say was tortured and confined in poor
conditions after refusing to give land to a senior minister, said
Monday he had been called in to court Wednesday.
The Asian Human Rights Commission has said Pring Pov had been forced
to give land to then princess Marie Ranariddh, who is now divorced
from Prince Norodom Ranariddh.
The Rights Commission has called for an investigation into the
treatment of Pring Pov in police custody.
