Defendants in an opposition mass trial argued at their final hearing that they were victims of a political war between Prime Minister Hun Sen and exiled politician Sam Rainsy, and asked for justice.
Cross-examinations are complete in one of the country’s mass opposition trials, which is now set for closing arguments in early May, a defense lawyer said. Twelve Malaysian nationals were repatriated from Cambodia after being entrapped in forced-labor compounds and beaten and abused with electric shocks, according to media reports.
Antiterrorism police said in court on Tuesday that CNRP defendants linked to or supporting Sam Rainsy’s planned return in 2019 were engaging in incitement.
The resumption of the trial of opposition activist Seng Chan Theary kicked off to heated arguments of the court’s procedures.
