Chinese Prisoner Appeals 3 Year Kidnapping Sentence
Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On the morning of 23 June 2022, the Supreme Court held a hearing on the appeal of a Chinese convict who was sentenced by a lower court to 3 years imprisonment in connection with the crime of unlawful detention of persons, committed in Village 2, Sangkat 1, Sihanoukville in 2019. He was arrested on November 3, 2019.
Soeng Panhavuth, the presiding judge of the Supreme Court, said that the appellant, WANG GANG, was a 51-year-old Chinese national who was sentenced by the Preah Sihanouk Provincial Court on 15 July 2020 to three years in prison on charges of unlawful detention of persons under Article 253 of the Penal Code.
Mr. WANG GANG appealed, but the Court of Appeal upheld his sentence. He then appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will announce the verdict of the final appeal on the morning of 29 June 2022.

Re: Chinese Prisoner Appeals 3 Year Kidnapping Sentence
Assuming he was held in pre-trial detention, which seems very common, he is 5 months away from being released.
What if the Supreme Court decides his sentence was unduly lenient and tacks on another 2 years?
Anything can happen in Cambodia.

I don't think they do time served here. Can they extend a sentence like they do back west?
