Phnom Penh - Cambodia's Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a lower court's ruling that an opposition legislator had defamed Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The court also upheld a 4,000-dollar fine against former women's affairs minister Mu Sochua.
Speaking outside the Supreme Court, she called the ruling "a travesty of justice" and pledged to go to jail rather than pay.
"I have been found guilty of a crime I have not committed," she said. "This is not justice. This is justice for sale, and for the powerful people only."
