Phnom Penh, Apr 30 (EFE/EPA).- A Cambodian appeals court upheld the treason conviction of former opposition leader Kem Sokha and imposed additional travel restrictions, in a case widely criticised by rights groups as politically motivated.

The 72-year-old former head of the Cambodia National Rescue Party was sentenced in 2023 to 27 years under house arrest for allegedly conspiring with the United States to overthrow the government, accusations he denies.

Organisations such as Human Rights Watch and other international actors have called for his release, warning that the case reflects a broader crackdown on political opposition in Cambodia. (Camera: KITH SEREY).
