Phnom Penh Municipal Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of a prominent activist and former monk currently living in self-imposed exile who it says has been found guilty of forging public documents and wearing monks’ robes after being defrocked.

The warrant, which was signed by presiding judge Khi Chher on November 3, calls on authorities to find Soeun Hay, who it says has been sentenced in absentia to two years in prison and fined 6 million riel (about $1,500) for forging documents declaring himself to be a monk and illegally wearing the religious robes.

Chher yesterday refused to elaborate on the charges or tell the Post when Hay was found guilty. He said only that the verdict was delivered “in accordance with [court] procedures and evidence”.
