PHNOM PENH – A court in Cambodia sentenced the head of an opposition party to two years in jail on Thursday for inciting social disorder, in the latest
criminal case against government opponents.
As well as the prison term, the court also fined Sun Chanthy four million riel — about $1,000 — and removed his right to vote or stand for election. Defence lawyer Choung Choungy said the ruling was an “injustice” to his client and they were considering whether to appeal.
