Three soldiers who savagely beat two opposition lawmakers as they left the National Assembly last year will serve just one year of a four year prison term, a judge declared today after convicting the trio, who will walk free in five months given time served.

Phnom Penh Municipal Court judge Heng Sokna did not provide any explanation for his decision to reduce the sentences of Mao Hoeung, 34, Sot Vanny, 45, and Chhay Sarith, 33, who are all members of the Prime Minister’s personal Bodyguard Unit.

“The court decides to sentence Chhay Sarith, Mao Hoeung and Sot Vanny each to four years in jail but they only have to serve one year in jail, the additional three years is suspended,” Sokna said.
