There Is A Judicial System…
Members of the Borei Keila community marched to the municipal court to file a complaint about the violence with which municipal security guards handled a protest by the community on Valentine’s day (see HERE).
Of course there is a judicial system in Cambodia. One might as well make good use of it. But as long as the public has doubts about the judicial aparatus being clearly separated from governing instances, the results of a trial will remain questionable. Justice is about laws, but also about having faith in the system.
