Opposition leader Kem Sokha was questioned in court on Wednesday about what he meant when he said during a 2013 speech in the U.S. that opposition gains made “Cambodian people stand up.”
Sokha, leader of the outlawed opposition CNRP, had been speaking just four months after a disputed Cambodian election that was nearly won by his now-dissolved opposition CNRP.
The CNRP president on Wednesday faced the seventh day of his trial at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court for allegedly conspiring with a foreign power. He is accused of working with the U.S. to overthrow the Cambodian government and faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
