Cambodian king freed Ricketson after 15 months in jail due to spying accusations. The Australian film-maker James Ricketson has landed on home soil but has promised he will return to Cambodia, days after being granted a royal pardon.

 

Ricketson, 69, landed in Sydney on Sunday night just 48 hours after his 15-month incarceration in a Phnom Penh prison, where he was held on accusations of spying, ended with clemency from the Cambodian king, Norodom Sihamoni.

 

“I’ll be going back as soon as I can but I’ll need to recover obviously,” he told reporters. “I need to spend some time with myself and some time with my family. But yeah, I’ll be going back.”
