Phnom Penh Municipal Court

4^th March 2014

Dear Pu Povsun

On 24^th Feb 2014, Mr Geoff Armstrong, Executive Director of the Global Development Group wrote a letter to me in which he informed me that I had been charged with ‘hindering’ Citipointe church.

I knew nothing about these charges at the time because your court had not charged me yet.

Four days later, on 28^th Feb,  I was provided with a document from the court, dated 26^th Feb, to let me know that I had been charged.

Whilst it was not easy to understand what I had been charged with, it eventually became apparent that the charge was ‘hindering’ Citipoine church in its attempt to ‘help prostitutes’.

I am interested to know and understand how Mr Geoff Armstrong was able to know about my being charged on 24^th Feb - two days before the court document was prepared (26^th Feb) and four days before it was delivered to me?

I am interested to know also if there is any suggestion that the ‘prostitutes’ I  have supposedly been ‘hindering’ Citipopinte church in helping, are Rosa and Chita – who were, respectively, 6 and 3 years old at the time they were removed from their family by Citipointe church in 2008.

yours sincerely

James Ricketson
