Flash Info | Appeal Court Upholds Verdicts of Nuon Toeun

5 March 2026audio available

The Phnom Penh Appeal Court on Monday upheld the convictions of Nuon Toeun, a Cambodian woman who was working in Malaysia when she was arrested and deported over Facebook posts at the request of Cambodian authorities in late 2024.

The appeal court upheld two 18-month sentences for charges of incitement and insulting the king related to Facebook posts that were deemed critical of Senate President Hun Sen. The charges would result in her spending two years in prison.

Toeun was convicted by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court in April last year and has been detained in Correctional Centre 2 since her deportation to Cambodia.
