LICADHO urges the government to take immediate and concerted action to remedy the inadequate conditions of Cambodia's prisons and to address the human rights abuses which are documented.
Report | Human Rights and Cambodia's Prisons: 2002 & 2003 Health Report
1 October 2004
There is a clear connection between systemic human rights violations in Cambodia's prisons and reduced prisoner health. There are many examples of this interconnection between health and human rights. For instance, prison overcrowding facilitates the spread of infectious disease. Torture is an obvious violation of health rights as victims suffer serious physical and psychological injury. This report seeks to highlight these connections and outline the prison health issues of most pressing concern in 2002 and 2003.
LICADHO urges the government to take immediate and concerted action to address the extremely serious health issues in Cambodian prisons.
