Kem Sokha

politician Cambodia

Kem Sokha is a prominent Cambodian politician and the former leader of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), which was the main opposition party in Cambodia until its dissolution in 2017. He was arrested in September 2017 and later sentenced to 27 years in prison on charges of treason, which he has consistently denied. His case has drawn international criticism, with human rights organizations alleging that the Cambodian government uses legal measures to suppress dissent and silence opposition figures. Sokha's imprisonment and the broader crackdown on political opposition in Cambodia have raised significant concerns regarding democracy and human rights in the country.
