Human Rights Party President Kem Sokha appeared for questioning at Phnom Penh Municipal Court Thursday morning, to answer allegations that he forged budget documents and embezzled money when he was the head of a local rights organization.
Sixteen former staff members of the Cambodian Center for Human Rights, which Kem Sokha headed from 2002 to 2007, filed complaints in 2006 alleging they were cheated out of their salaries and per diem payments.
Prosecutors said in August they would begin looking into just two of those complaints, following a review of the evidence.
Kem Sokha spent two hours in questioning at the courthouse Thursday. He told reporters afterward he had shown proof of his innocence.
