Duong Khai

Yoeung Kaiy said that his house was searched by more than 100 public security officers on April 13. They confiscated over 100 of his books, his cellphone, and computers. The operation was carried out without presenting any warrant, Kaiy added. 

Kaiy himself was arrested and detained for 24 hours. When they released him, the public security returned his cellphone and computers. However, his books were permanently confiscated. They accused him of printing books “without permission” and of “tax evasion.” But even more interesting, the book in question is the United Nations’ Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, a document that should be freely distributed.
