The King has pardoned Kem Sokha?

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Good, about time too. Kem Sokha is a complete twat but I couldn't see any sense in those charges.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

The king did it at the request of Mr H.E.

My first thoughts too. And far more interesting than Thy Sovantha and the son, is the claim that there are messages showing the father - dear old '"grandpa" - promising his "'grandchild" $1M cash. That is a story worth shutting down - if it is true of course.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the 'pardon' will relate to a specific charge or charges against Kem Sokha, but there are probably other law suits against him that could be pursued at a later date, including the defamation charge by Thy Sovantha. One sin is (apparently) forgiven, but I'm sure that grandad has others up his sleeve for the future.
