Flash Info | Supreme Court Rules Opposition Activist to Spend 11 Years in Prison

14 October 2026

The Supreme Court today denied a request to have the multiple plotting convictions of former Buddhist monk and Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) activist Voeung Samnang run concurrently, meaning Samnang remains scheduled to serve 11 years in prison on multiple charges of plotting.

Samnang was living in Bangkok with UNHCR-recognized refugee status when he was arrested by Thai authorities and deported to Cambodia in November 2021. He was convicted of plotting in December 2022 alongside 35 other former CNRP activists in a mass trial and sentenced to five years in prison. The evidence in the case consisted of Facebook posts and private messages discussing an unsuccessful attempt by former CNRP vice-president Mu Sochua to return to Cambodia to face trial in a separate case.
