Kem Sokha remains charged with treason and is banned from politics and leaving the country.

Cambodian opposition leader Kem Sokha met the French ambassador today after his house arrest was lifted, although he remains charged with treason and is banned from politics and leaving the country.Sokha’s house arrest was lifted as the European Union considers whether to cut preferential trade terms with Cambodia after a crackdown by Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has ruled with an iron grip for more than three decades.

Sokha, 66, was arrested in 2017 and his Cambodia National Rescue Party was dissolved by the Supreme Court in the run-up to last year’s general election.“As an innocent person who has been jailed for two years, I continue to demand that the charges against me be dropped,” Sokha said in a Facebook post yesterday after house arrest was lifted.
