Aside from local human rights groups, activists and residents in Boeung Kak Lake have been petitioning the offices of UN agencies and various embassies in Cambodia to seek help in pressuring the Cambodian government to release Tep Vanny. 
Pamoja na vikundi vya haki za binadamu vya nyumbani, wanaharakati na wakazi wa ziwa Boeung Kak wamekuwa wakiomba ofisi za mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa na balozi mbalimbali nchini Cambodia kuishurutisha serikali imwachie huru Tep Vanny.
