Australian missionary Martin Chan hopes Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen will intervene to resolve charges of “criminal fraud” that have led to a three-month stint behind bars.
Access to Hun Sen was offered after Chan won the support of Sok Sovann Vathana Sabung, a key member of the Supreme Consultation Forum (SCF) and president of the Khmer Rise Party (KRP).
“I hope that Hun Sen or his cabinet will take a look at this case and see if there’s anything unusual,” 49-year-old Chan said.
