Recommended Posts

The Court of Appeal yesterday upheld the 18-month jail term for former senator Thak Lany over her accusation that Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered the assassination of political analyst Kem Ley. The sentence was passed in absentia by Phnom Penh Municipal Court in November last year for defamation and incitement.

 

Appeal court presiding judge Plang Samnang did not elaborate on the reason for the decision. The municipal court also issued a warrant for Ms Lany.

 

Her lawyer, Sam Sokong, said he and his client did not accept the appeal court verdict. “My client denied speaking in the way described in the charge,” Mr Sokong said, adding Ms Lany would take her appeal to the Supreme Court.
