The Phnom Penh Capital Court this morning sentenced prominent labour and political activist Rong Chhun to four years in prison on charges of incitement to disturb social security and repeat offending, and permanently stripped him of his rights to vote and stand for election. The court also fined Chhun 4 million riel (about US $1,000). The conviction follows comments Chhun allegedly made expressing his opinion of Cambodia's online fraud sector and the Cambodia-Vietnam border.
