The owner of the Rithysen radio station and website was on Thursday provisionally charged with “incitement to commit felonies” after being accused of broadcasting false news about a land dispute.
Sok Oudom was charged by the prosecutor under Article 495 of the Criminal Code for a piece published Tuesday that allegedly incited people to encroach upon state-owned land, said deputy court prosecutor Long Sitha.
However, Sitha said he could not comment on the specific details of the alleged crime, which carries a jail term of between six months and two years for those found guilty, as well as a fine of one-to-four million riel (about $250 to $1,000).
