Kiwi could die in Cambodian jail

Supporters of a former Wellington man jailed for rape in Cambodia fear he will die behind bars, as hopes of a fresh appeal fade.
Graham Cleghorn has just spent his ninth New Year in a Cambodian prison – and now faces the prospect of an extra 10 years being added to his sentence because he is unable to pay reparations to his accusers.
He was sentenced to 20 years in 2004 for raping five of his employees, aged 14 to 19, in Siem Reap, about 300 kilometres northwest of Phnom Penh.
