In this photo by Heng Sinith, detained human rights worker Yi Soksan,
left, is touched by his daughter as he arrives at an appeals court in
Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The court on Monday denied bail to him and four other human rights
workers who were arrested in April on accusations they tried to help
cover up a woman's affair with the deputy leader of the opposition
Cambodia National Rescue Party. Rights groups have expressed concern
about a growing campaign of legal pressure against critics and opponents
of Prime Minister Hun Sen's government ahead of elections starting next
year.
