Lawyers for CNRP acting president Kem Sokha have informed the Phnom Penh Municipal Court that he plans to ignore a second summons to testify today in relation to “prostitution” allegations involving an alleged mistress.

Sokha was due to appear this morning for a second time after ignoring a May 17 summons in relation to the same matter. He also declined to attend after being summonsed on May 11 in relation to a separate defamation case.

In a letter to the court, Sokha’s lawyers said his presence was not necessary as no suspects had been officially charged in the case.
