The Appeal Court yesterday denied bail for a man who was charged with “public insult and incitement to commit a felony” in connection with writing a Facebook post defaming the words of Prime Minister Hun Sen and the Minister of Agriculture Veng Sakhon. Presiding Judge Leang Samnath identified the man as Ny Nak, 41, living in Phnom Penh’s Meanchey district.

 

Judge Samnath said that Nak was charged with two counts of “public insult and incitement to commit a felony” under Articles 307, 494 and 495 of the Criminal Code. If convicted he faces between six months and two years in prison with a fine of between $250 and $1,000.

 

He said that Nak was arrested on December 12 last year by police in Phnom Penh’s Anti-Cyber Crime Department. “In order to prevent a new crime from occurring by the accused and to also keep him for his upcoming trial, the Appeal Court has decided not to allow him bail as he has requested,” he added.
