Flash Info | Supreme Court Upholds Verdict Against Lor Peang Community Members

25 March 2025audio available

The Supreme Court this morning upheld the convictions of Lor Peang land community members Sngoun Nheun, Reach Seyma and Phol Sorn for “obstruction of a public official with aggravating circumstances” and “intentionally causing damage” under Articles 504 and 411 of the Criminal Code.

Nheun, Seyma, and Sorn - who has since passed away - were convicted by the Kampong Chhnang Provincial Court in 2021, eight years after the alleged crimes occurred during protest by community members against KDC International, a company involved in a longstanding land dispute with the villagers.
