against the Royal government of Cambodia.
According to a statement released on August 17 by
the spokesman for the General Commissariat of National Police, the four young
suspects, two of whom are females, were arrested on August 15 when they were
producing and distributing hundreds of leaflets, calling upon armed forces to
overthrow the Royal government.
The arrests of the suspects, Tot Chanpanha, Hoeuy
Borin, Sok Dalin and Long Ly Pheng, were made with permission from the
prosecutor in accordance with the legal procedure while they were carrying out
activities of producing and distributing hundreds of the leaflets at the order
of Suon Sereyrotha, president of Khmer People’s Power Movement accused of
building illegal armed forces against the government, the statement said.
"Production and distribution of such leaflets
are intentional activities to create armed violence to cause serious social
