Re: Kem Sokha convicted
Remind me what the charges are again ? Prostitution was it ? Or having a mistress ? It's possible that adultery is a crime. Whatever he did, it was against the law for sure.kiwiincambodia wrote:This just popped up on my Twitter...

No idea, I honestly don't think it matters what the charges were the result would have been the same.
Absolutely nothing about this in the press yet.

Re: Kem Sokha convicted
Totally agree. But they will have to think of something or it will look silly. However, who cares about some mockery as long as they get the desired result. Player out.

A guilty verdict would also allow the CPP-controlled National Assembly to strip him of his lawmaker status, as it did with opposition leader Sam Rainsy in November after the courts revealed he had an outstanding defamation conviction.

BREAKING: Court rules Kem Sokha guilty
Fri, 9 September 2016
Niem Chheng, Mech Dara and Ananth Baliga
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court today ruled that Kem Sokha, the deputy leader of the opposition, was guilty of refusing to appear for questioning in a prostitution case against him, and sentenced him to five months in prison and a fine of 800,000 riel ($200).
“This verdict can be regarded as having been announced in front of the accused,” said Judge Keo Mony, adding that Kem Sokha was free to file an appeal.
Sokha is expected to do so.
Neither Kem Sokha, who has been holed up at the headquarters of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party since May 26, nor his lawyers were in court to hear the verdict.
In a speech given to hundreds of supporters at CNRP HQ earlier today, Sokha said the controversial court cases against him were an attempt by the government to end his political career.
“The use of the court system is to attack me and prevent me from participating in the upcoming elections and that will make the election unfair and unacceptable,” he said.
