The Mondulkiri Provincial Court has placed a man in pre-trial detention for allegedly clearing forest land while two other suspects were released.
Provincial court spokesman Meas Bros said on May 9 that the three suspects were sent to court by environmental officials on May 6.
“The detained person is the owner of the machinery. He cleared state land for ownership, while the two others are just hired workers. So, they were released,” he said.
