Cambodia won't probe activist 'abduction'Wanchalearm: Dragged into a car by armed men in Phnom PenhCambodian police have ruled out a probe into the disappearance of a self-exiled Thai activist after he was allegedly abducted in broad daylight outside his Phnom Penh apartment. Mr Wanchalearm is wanted in Thailand for allegedly breaching the Computer Crimes Act by running an acerbic anti-government Facebook page. At least eight Thai activists who fled after the last coup to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam have reportedly disappeared, HRW added. The Royal Thai Police has made no comment on Mr Wanchalearm's alleged abduction in Cambodia.
