PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- Koh Kong provincial police on Tuesday morning released Mr. Alex, president of Mother Nature Cambodia, and his ten activists after writing apology letter to authority, a human rights activist said. 

Neang Boratino, human rights activist from LICADHO, said that Mr. Alex and ten other environmental activists were freed at around 1:00 a.m after being questioned. 

Police advised and asked them to write confession and stop their activities which affected public order and travelling of the local citizens. 

Mr. Alex, and his activists were arrested by Kong Kong police when they blocked a road to prevent provincial authority from visiting the citizens at Areng area in Koh Kong's Thmor Bang district. 

The group parked a car on the road as they feared that authority led Chinese investors to visit Areng area where the construction of dam was planned.
