On September 03, 2020, three young environmental activists and members of non-governmental organization Mother Nature Cambodia, Long Kunthea, Phoung Keorasmey and Thun Ratha were arrested for planning a one-woman march to raise awareness about the filling-in of Boeung Tamok lake. Three days later, the three are charged with incitement to commit a felony or disturb social order under Articles 494 and 495 of the Criminal Code and imprisoned. Local sources report that Boeng Tamok is one of many bodies of water in the metro area currently being filled, mostly by private developers, with little to no transparency or public input.
