According to the US State Department’s country report on human rights practices, in 1997 “there was at least one political prisoner. In a flawed September trial, Khmer Nation Party official Srun Vong Vannak and two others were sentenced to prison for their alleged roles in the November 1996 murder of Kov Samuth, the brother-in-law of Mrs. Hun Sen” (U.S. Department of State, 1998).1“Cambodia Report on Human Rights Practices for 1997,” U.S. Department of State, January 30, 1998, accessed July 30, 2010, http://www.state.gov/www/global/human_rights/1997_hrp_report/cambodia.ht…
