Family of missing Laos activist Sombath Somphone reveal new evidence three years after disappearance
Fresh footage of an abducted activist’s classic American Jeep could crack open a three-year-old mystery in Laos, campaigners say.
On 15 December 2012, Sombath Somphone was driving home when he was pulled over just metres from the Australian Embassy Recreation Club in the capital, Vientiane.
Mr Sombath was well known in international circles and won the 2005 Magsaysay Award, sometimes called Asia’s Nobel Prize, for his work in sustainable farming, youth training and community development.
