Flash Info | Appeal Court Denies Bail Request for Citizen Journalist

12 August 2026

This afternoon, the Phnom Penh Appeal Court rejected the bail request of Him Mom, also known as Khem Sreymom, a 45-year-old citizen journalist and human rights defender who was arrested in May 2026. The Phnom Penh Capital Court charged her with incitement to disturb social security and insult of a public official under Articles 494, 495, and 502 of the Criminal Code respectively. The charges stem from Facebook posts she made relating to the Cambodian-Thai border conflict and other social issues.

Him Mom is an active voice for her community and has participated in many activities advocating for human rights, freedom of expression and environmental protections, as well as other civil actions with environmental activists and human rights defenders.
