A former activist of the Supreme Court-dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) asked the Appeal Court to reduce his 18-month prison sentence imposed by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court. May Hong Srieng, 38, said the words he used in his Facebook post were merely copied from others. He emphasised that he had no intention of criticising the government. “I accept this charge but I would like to ask the court to reduce my sentence so that I can immediately seek medical treatment as I have a blocked artery in my leg,” he said. Stating the case against Hong Srieng, Judge Chan Madina said he had actively written Facebook posts which were abusive and critical of the nation’s leadership.
