PHNOM PENH, Oct 28 (AFP) - Cambodia's Appeal Court on Wednesday upheld the conviction of an outspoken opposition party lawmaker for defaming the country's powerful Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Mu Sochua of the Sam Rainsy Party was convicted by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court in August for defaming Hun Sen during an April press conference, in which she announced plans to sue the premier for allegedly insulting her.
The court also ordered her to pay more than 4,000 dollars in a fine and compensation to Hun Sen.
