Cambodia - In May 2008, Ya Sokhim had acid poured all over her face and upper body. She claimed that it was because she had helped Soklyda, her niece, escape the wrath of Chea, Soklyda´s lesbian lover and former Chief of Staff of the military police.
Last month, the municipal court acquitted Chea and five other suspects in a ruling that was condemned by rights groups.
The appeal will be heard at the end of October. Chea is out of the country and was not available for comment.
