Activists claim arrests by Lao authorities at dam site
Two Cambodian activists say they were briefly detained by authorities in Laos on 24 January after sneaking across the border to take photographs of the planned site of the Don Sahong hydropower dam, which regional governments and environmentalists fear could cut into critical fish stocks downstream.
Chum Huot said he, his twin brother Chum Huor and fellow activist Se Samedi hired a boatman to take them up the Mekong River from Stung Treng province, across the Lao-Cambodian border and the extra 2 kilometers to the intended site of the Don Sahong.
