The Banteay Meanchey Provincial Court convicted Hem Vanna, an online journalist from HVNN TV Online, to a suspended 6-month prison sentence for incitement to commit a felony under Articles 494 and 495 of the Criminal Code, and for intercepting or recording a private conversation under Article 301.

Vanna spent over two months in Banteay Meanchey Prison since his arrest and imprisonment on 4 February 2026. He was then released on bail on 8 April 2026 following his second bail hearing at the provincial court after his investigation closed the day prior. His previous bail request was denied by the lower court on 18 February 2026, a decision that was upheld by the Battambang Appeal Court in April 2026.
