The Appeal Court upheld the conviction of nine people from two activist groups and the disbanded CNRP, who were convicted for incitement for their participation in protests following the arrest of prominent unionist Rong Chhun.
Khmer Thavrak activists on Friday questioned their incitement convictions for attending protests in August 2020, saying not all were present over the four days in question — and one had not joined at all.
Activists who served jailtime delivered a petition to the Russian Embassy asking for peace in Ukraine, signaling their intent to continue speaking out.
The activist was arrested during protests in 2020 against the arrest of unionist Rong Chhun, who was arrested for claiming Cambodia was ceding territory to Vietnam.
Activists on trial asked for their release, fair judgments, and requested a judge spend time at a meditation center, at the close of the trial of protestors supporting unionist Rong Chhun.
