Cambodia: Environmental activist found guilty of defamation, insult and incitement & convicted to 1 year imprisonment

"Conviction of Chhorn Phalla, Forestry Activist, Upheld", 20 June 2024

…, the Tbong Khmum Appeal Court upheld the verdict of the Ratanakiri Provincial Court convicting well-known environmental activist Chhorn Phalla of defamation, insult and incitement to commit a felony under Articles 305, 502, and 495 of the Criminal Code.

The decision of the Appeal Court came after Phalla’s trial ... He faces one year in prison and a 10 million riel (around US$2,500) fine, pending the exhaustion of the appeals process.
