The family of Thai political activist Wanchalearm Satsaksit and several human rights groups have urged Cambodian authorities to disclose information about his status and whereabouts. Wanchalearm was abducted outside his apartment building while in exile in Phnom Penh, according to reports. He was an outspoken critic of the Thai government and faced criminal charges in Thailand.

 

Sitanan Satsaksit, the elder sister of Wanchalearm and rights activists yesterday submitted a joint letter to representatives of the United Nations urging a probe into his disappearance. Wanchalearm’s abduction was captured on CCTV, which showed images of the vehicle and its number. Satsaksit also heard the commotion as she was on phone talking to him when he was seized, reports said.
