Ten accused members of the Khmer National Liberation Front (KNLF) were jailed yesterday for between five and six years after being convicted of plotting against the government. An 11th, exiled KNLF president Sam Serey, 38, was sentenced in absentia to nine years.
 

The Phnom Penh Municipal Court issued a warrant for his arrest. However, Mr. Serey lives in Denmark, which does not have an extradition treaty with Cambodia. Those jailed for five years were Chhun Nakong, 30, Liv Yi, 31, Chhun Chhath, 31, and Chranh Moch, 26.
 

Lak Liheang, 24, Chan Sna, 29, Chhim Smak, 59, An Than, 37, Pheach Chanra, 31, and Chhay Veth, 42, were given six-year terms. KNLF members are said by the government to be members of an illegal military force.
