Phnom Penh

Hundreds of police stopped a procession of opposition lawmaker Mu Sochua and around 50 supporters in front of the Royal Palace on Wednesday, as they marched to protest a defamation verdict against her upheld by the Supreme Court.
The decision ended Mu Sochua’s chances of legally avoiding a court fine of around $4,500, for defamation of Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The decision was the culmination of a countersuit brought by Hun Sen against Mu Sochua last year, after she filed a court complaint he had slandered her in public speeches.
