Ven. Loun Sovath is currently visiting Canada. He is an outspoken activist, documentary filmmaker, and poet – and earlier this month he boarded a plane to deliver his message of Truth about Cambodia to Canada.
He will speak at an event organized by Cambodian community at Buddha Sodharam Temple on March 3, 2012 entitled :Monk's Role during Injustice Events in Cambodia.
Venerable Loun Sovath is a Cambodian monk who saw his nephew and brother injured by bullets for trying to farm their land. When 12 others were sent to prison he decided to speak out. Since he became a Human Rights Defender the Venerable Luon Sovath has been arrested and threatened with beatings, death, and defrocking as a monk.
Human Rights Watch has awarded a prestigious Hellman/Hammett Award to the Venerable Loun Sovath for his human rights defender work supporting communities facing forced evictions and land-grabbing in Cambodia.This once-in-a-rare opportunity to see Ven. Sovath in person is not to be missed.
