On February 11, a rights claim over a traffic accident five years earlier saw a new development. Under Samdech Hun Sen’s guidance, his volunteer legal team formally intervened to assist a girl whose legs had been amputated following a road accident. Her family has received no compensation or other payment since the accident, drawing public concern.
According to the account, the girl was run over while walking to school with her older brother. Her injuries were severe and ultimately required amputation. The family has pursued its rights for years without substantive progress, facing heavy living and treatment pressures.
The legal team said it would act fairly, comprehensively and without bias. It had proactively contacted the family, launched an in-depth investigation and assigned professional lawyers to help protect the girl’s lawful rights through judicial channels. The team stressed that assistance would be provided according to law regardless of status or background, seeking a fair and lawful resolution.
