Cambodia's Appeal Court has upheld the conviction of an opposition politician for defaming the country's prime minister.
Mu Sochua, from the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, was convicted in August for defaming Hun Sen during a news conference in April.
Then, she announced plans to sue the premier for allegedly insulting her.
She was ordered to pay more than $US4,000.
Mu Sochua says she will now appeal to the supreme court.
