Som Ek, leader of the antigovernment Tiger Head Movement and convicted mastermind of a plot in 2009 to bomb the Ministry of Defence, was rearrested yesterday morning after escaping from custody earlier this month having served less than eight years of prison sentences spanning decades.

 

Ek, who had been jailed at Phnom Penh’s PJ prison but fled after his family allegedly drugged the guards watching over him while he was in hospital, was arrested in Siem Reap’s Svay Leu district, said Khnang Phnom commune police chief Long Ngeak.

 

Ngeak said that provincial police had informed local authorities Ek was believed to be in the area and arrested him shortly thereafter as he attempted to go into hiding on Kulen mountain.
