Theary C. Seng serves as the founding president of CIVICUS: Center for Cambodian Civic
Education, a local NGO registered with the
Ministry of Interior. She is also writing her second book. Prior, she
founded the Cambodian Center for Justice &
Reconciliation, now a major component
of CIVICUS. After a 2-year stint as a commercial lawyer, Theary, in March 2006,
joined the Center for Social Development, a local human rights organization based
in Phnom Penh, Cambodia as its executive director until her removal in July
2009 by a politically-motivated court injunctive
order.
Theary was born in Phnom Penh,
probably in January 1971. Under the Khmer Rouge, she lived in Svay Rieng province
bordering Vietnam, where the killings were most intense and where she spent five
months in Boeung Rei prison. The Khmer Rouge killed both her parents. She and her
surviving family trekked across the border for Thailand in Nov. 1979 and emigrated
to the U.S. one year later.
