On 9 February 2012, a summons was issued against Soum Chankea, land rights and human rights defender and Banteay Meachey Provincial Coordinator for the Cambodian Human Rights and Development Association by the Sub-Prosecutor in Sisophon, Banteay Meanchay Province. The summoning is reportedly related to ADHOC's intervention in a case of a waitress reporting sexual harassment and sexual molestation allegedly by Oum Socheath and another individual, Mr Thong Piseth. The victim filed a complaint with the Provincial Police Commission relating to two sexual assaults that took place on 3 and 8 November 2011, however no further action has been undertaken by police. The victim lodged a complaint with ADHOC which provided her with legal advice, and Soum Chankea helped her file a complaint with the police, urging them and the Prosecutor's office to take action and open an investigation into the case. According to information received, a letter of intervention was sent to the Prosecutor in Sisophon by Mr Hun San, brother of Cambodia's Prime Minister Mr Hun Sen, asking him not to investigate the allegation against Oum Socheath. Oum Socheath had previously threatened the victim and told her they were protected by high-ranking people. On 20 February 2012, Soum Chankea was due to appear for questioning at the Prosecutor's office at Sisophon Provincial Court, which could bring a formal charge of Slanderous Denunciation under Article 311 of the Penal Code against him. On that date, the matter was postponed and the questioning has been rescheduled for 22 March 2012. The charge is punishable by a term of between one month and one year imprisonment and a fine of between 100,000 (__� 19) to 2 million Riels (__� 374). On 8 May 2012, Ms Sokumtheary Yin issued a warrant to drop the criminal complaint against Mr Soum Chankea.
