Cambodia opposition leader jailed 27 years for treason

TOP Cambodian opposition leader Kem Sokha was today sentenced to 27 years in jail for treason in a case denounced as a “miscarriage of justice”.  

Arrested in 2017 in a midnight swoop involving hundreds of security forces, Kem Sokha was accused of hatching a “secret plan” in collusion with foreign entities to topple the government of longtime Prime Minister Hun Sen.
