Flash Info | Mother Nature Bail Decision Set for End of Month

23 April 2025audio available

The Supreme Court this morning held a hearing on the bail request of five imprisoned Mother Nature environmental activists and scheduled a verdict to be issued on 30 April.

The detained environmentalist activists – Long Kunthea, Ly Chandaravuth, Phuon Keoraksmey, Thun Ratha and Yim Leanghy – were returned to separate prisons following this morning's hearing, which was held to discuss the activists' appeal of the 18 February decision by the Phnom Penh Appeal Court to deny them bail. All five have been in prison since 2 July 2024, when they were convicted and jailed by the Phnom Penh Capital Court on charges of plotting alongside five other Mother Nature members. Leanghy and two other members not detained were also convicted of insulting the king. The activists are seeking bail while these convictions are under appeal.
