PHNOM PEMH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): The Phnom Penh Municipal Court held another hearing in the treason trial of Kem Sokha, former leader of the Supreme Court-dissolved Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP), with his defence team again protesting their client’s innocence.
Following the June 1 hearing, Chan Chen, one of Sokha’s defence lawyers, told reporters that the atmosphere at the 42nd hearing was tense. The prosecutor had asked his client a number of questions, and he had answered them. The questions were related to the charge of conspiring with foreign powers to topple the government.
