柬埔寨反對黨領袖被控叛國
Cambodian opposition leader Kem Sokha has been formally charged with treason, and is facing a sentence between 15 to 30 years in jail if convicted.
A court in the capital, Phnom Penh, announced Tuesday that the leader of the Cambodia National Rescue Party is accused of secretly colluding with a foreign entity to undermine the government.
Sokha was arrested Sunday during a raid on his home, along with his bodyguards, according to a tweet by his daughter, Kem Monovithya. The government said it arrested Sokha based on his comments in a video broadcast by the private Cambodian Broadcasting Network, based in Melbourne, Australia. In the video, which dates back to 2024, Sokha claims he has received help from the United States to build a pro-democracy movement in Cambodia.
A post on his Twitter feed Monday said "I may lose my freedom, but may freedom never die in Cambodia."
柬埔寨反對黨領袖根索卡因叛國罪被正式起訴，如果罪名成立，將面臨15到30年刑期。
柬埔寨首都金邊的一家法院星期二宣布，柬埔寨反對黨救國黨主席根索卡被控與外國勢力秘謀，企圖顛覆政府。
根索卡的女兒在推特上說，根索卡的家星期天被突襲，他和保鏢在突襲中被捕。柬埔寨政府說，抓捕根索卡是因為他在澳大利亞墨爾本一家私人柬埔寨廣播網上發表的視頻評論。根索卡在這段2024年的視頻中聲稱，他得到了美國的幫助，在柬埔寨建立親民主運動。
根索卡推特帳戶上星期一寫著：“我可能失去自由，但希望自由永遠不會在柬埔寨死去?！?/p>
