Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On the morning of 21 April 2023, the Supreme Court heard the appeal of a woman sentenced by the lower court to 7 years in prison charged with human trafficking on the Cambodian-Thai border in Battambang province during 2021.

The accused woman was arrested on 17 March 2021 in Seri Mean Mean commune, Sampov Loun district, Battambang province. Chiv Keng, the presiding judge of the Supreme Court, said that Phang Phieu, a 39-year-old woman, was previously sentenced by the Battambang Provincial Court on 11 November 2021 to 7 years imprisonment on charges of human trafficking in contravention of Articles 11 and 12 of the Law on the Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation.

The accused woman appealed, but the Battambang Court of Appeal upheld her sentence, so she has now laid an appeal before the Supreme Court. The verdict is expected on the morning of 27 April 2023.
