Cambodia's Supreme Court Upholds Maximum Sentence for Opposition Activist
Original: Cambodian Supreme Court Maximizes Sentence for Opposition Activist
Cambodia's Supreme Court has imposed the maximum sentence on an opposition activist, according to Human Rights Watch. The ruling adds to a series of legal actions against members and supporters of the country's opposition, which rights groups describe as politically motivated. Critics say the decision further narrows political space in Cambodia ahead of upcoming elections.
Why now: Human Rights Watch and rights advocates are highlighting the ruling as evidence of Cambodia's shrinking political freedoms.
