A Cambodian political activist and the son of an opposition party official were ambushed and seriously injured in separate attacks on Saturday, in the latest of a string of assaults on opponents of Prime Minister Hun Sen and his ruling party, Cambodian sources said.
Choeun Sarim, a former elected councilor in Phnom Penh for the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), was attacked at about 6:00 p.m. by two men riding motobike who struck him in the head while he was transporting guests on a tuk-tuk, or motorized tricycle, in the capital Phnom Penh.
One motorbike pulled over to his right in traffic, and a passenger on the bike picked up a rock and threw it at him, Choeun Sarim said, adding, “I started to run for my life, but then another motorbike carrying two people stopped me, and one of them hit me with a square wooden stick.”
