All Quiet

No news from the court officials conference, but plenty of rumours flying around.

Word has it that the NGO community was none too happy about the Cambodian Bar Association being included and taking up time in their presentation period on Monday- especially since they were taking opposing positions to the NGOs on defence issues. Word also has it that the mood in the conference from the Cambodian judges is not too welcoming towards the Principle Defender either. With the Bar Association and the Cambodian judges all rumoured to have connections to the ruling CPP, talk is bound to be about the start of long feared political influence being applied.

Barely a mention in the Daily. The South Korean visit, and the rather bazaar request for Cambodia to mediate between North and South Korea, appears to have drawn all the press attention this week.
