PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): The Phnom Penh Municipal Court prosecution has introduced additional evidence against former opposition leader Kem Sokha, putting more pressure on him in his ongoing treason trial over alleged conspiracy with a foreign power to overthrow the government.

The defence team of Sokha, former president of the Supreme Court-dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), are unhappy about the new evidence.
