Flash Info | Tour Guide, Commune Councillor and Two Others Convicted of Plotting

23 September 2026

The Phnom Penh Capital Court convicted four Cambodians for plotting this morning and sentenced them each to seven years in prison allegedly over phone conversations and social media posts.

The court convicted Rath Sothy, Am Vong, Suon Bunlor and Pin Poch on Wednesday under Article 453 of the Criminal Code, handing them each a seven-year prison sentence for three separate alleged offences. Sothy, a 54-year-old second deputy commune chief in Battambang’s Anlong Vil commune, was arrested on 11 January 2026 for allegedly talking about the former prime minister in a private phone conversation. In July, Sothy resigned his commune position and apologised to the government; however, the court proceeded to convict him.
