Ricketson, 69, was arrested on June 3, shortly after he was spotted flying a drone over an opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party commune election rally.

 

He was held for almost a week before being charged with gathering sensitive information with the intention of supplying it to a foreign state, which could jeopardise Cambodia’s national defence.

I wonder how images of an election rally can jeopardize Cambodian national defense.

 

must have been one hell of a rally... scary

especially considering it was an opposition rally. all i can think of is it might prove that there were more people there then was reported by the government
