Before they take me away: the Cambodian activist fighting for nature and his freedom
Cambodian environmental activist Ly Chandaravuth spent five months in pre-trial detention on charges of “plotting” before he was released on bail pending trial. Since then, he has spent many more months looking over his shoulder.
