Jailed opposition senator Hong Sok Hour has requested Cambodia’s Supreme Court grant him temporary bail on medical grounds, promising to deposit 20 million riel ($5,000) and his French and Cambodian passports. Appearing before the court yesterday, Sok Hour said he needed bail to avail medical treatment for his blood pressure, as well as a stomach ailment and a cold, which, he said, he contracted from other prisoners in jail.

“Please give me bail and I promise there will be no chaos or insecurity after I leave prison,” Sok Hour said. Sok Hour, who was arrested last August, is charged with forging a public document, using a forged public document and incitement to cause serious unrest, after he posted on Facebook a “fake” section of the 1979 border treaty between Cambodia and Vietnam last August.
