Image of Asia: A greeting before entering court in Cambodia
In this photo by Heng Sinith, detained human rights worker Yi Soksan, left, is touched by his daughter as he arrives at an appeals court in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The court on Monday denied bail to him and four other human rights workers who were arrested in April on accusations they tried to help cover up a woman’s affair with the deputy leader of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party. Rights groups have expressed concern about a growing campaign of legal pressure against critics and opponents of Prime Minister Hun Sen’s government ahead of elections starting next year.
