The guilty verdict and seven year sentence handed down to an opposition politician, Hong Sok Hour, today in Phnom Penh is further evidence of a worrying spiral of suppression of key human rights, including freedom of expression, in Cambodia, said Amnesty International.Hong Sok Hour, a Senator from the opposition Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP), was convicted on forgery and incitement charges by Phnom Penh Municipal Court, for allegedly posting a video clip on Facebook containing an image of a fictitious agreement between Cambodia and Vietnam to dissolve their shared border. He was held in pre-trial detention following his arrest in August 2015, until his trial resumed two weeks ago.resource The Cambodia Daily
