<p>London, Paris, 16 March 2021 &mdash; A decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor concerning allegations of crimes against humanity stemming from the land grabbing frenzy is expected by June this year, FIDH, Global Witness, and Climate Counsel have learned.</p>

<p>Eight months after the disappearance of activist in exile Wanchalearm Satsaksit, his family is still searching for answers, while very little progress has been made by the authorities. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The Cambodian authorities must redouble their efforts to thoroughly, independently and impartially investigate the disappearance of Thai dissident Wanchalearm Satsaksit and determine his fate and whereabouts, said Amnesty International today (8 December).</p>

<p>Sitanun Satsaksit, sister of missing activist-in-exile Wanchalearm Satsaksit, is travelling to Cambodia to testify in her brother&rsquo;s case, says <a href="https://www.amnesty.or.th/latest/news/864/">Amnesty International</a>.</p>

<p>Four months after the disappearance of activist-in-exile Wanchalearm Satsaksit, last seen in Phnom Penh, his family is still searching for answers as there has been no progress in the investigation into his abduction.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Global civil society alliance&nbsp;<a href="https://www.civicus.org/index.php/media-resources/media-releases/4623-cambodia-civicus-calls-on-government-to-release-activists-after-wave-of-arrests">CIVICUS</a>&nbsp;is extremely concerned by an ongoing crackdown on activists in Cambodia over the last month. A chilling wave of arrests marks an escalation of attempts by the authorities to intimidate activists and silence all forms of dissent and highlights the rapid deterioration of human rights in Cambodia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances submitted a second letter to the Cambodian government over lack of progress in the investigation since the Thai activist was kidnapped from the front of his residence in Phnom Penh on 4 June 2020.</p>

<p>On the occasion of the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, our organizations call on the governments of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam to adequately investigate all cases of enforced disappearances in their respective countries, determine the fate or whereabouts of the victims, and ensure the victims&rsquo; families have effective access to justice and receive adequate reparations.</p>

<p>Southeast Asian parliamentarians have today (5 August) called on Cambodia&rsquo;s authorities to immediately release and unconditionally drop all charges against union leader Rong Chhun, who was arrested late last week, and to end all attacks on those that peacefully voice their concerns.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hear from friends and colleagues of missing activist-in-exile Wanchalearm Satsaksit about enforced disappearance, his abduction, and Wanchalearm as they have known him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The family of missing activist in exile <a href="https://prachatai.com/english/category/wanchalearm-satsaksit">Wanchalearm Satsaksit</a> has filed a complaint with the Cambodian authorities calling for legal proceedings against the group of armed people who abducted Wanchalearm.</p>
