Flash Info | Supreme Court Upholds Conviction of Lor Peang Community Members

16 March 2026

The Supreme Court this morning upheld the convictions of four Lor Peang community members on charges of "intentional acts of violence with aggravating circumstances" and "intentionally causing damage with aggravating circumstances."

In March 2021, community members Snguon Nhuen, Sroun Pha, Seang Heng, Kouch Hok, and Mang Yav were convicted under Articles 218 and 411 of the Criminal Code and sentenced to three years in prison, all of which were suspended, in addition to an order to pay two million riels (around USD$500) each in compensation. The Phnom Penh Appeal Court upheld the lower court decision on 12 September 2025. Kouch Hok died prior to the Supreme Court hearing and is no longer part of the case.

Publicly available imagery and footage indicate that a significant number of homes and structures in Chok Chey and Boeung Trarkuon villages in Banteay Meanchey province have been razed and cleared by Thai forces in the days and weeks after the 27 December ceasefire. The destruction of civilian homes during a conflict goes against the Geneva Conventions and international human rights law, regardless of which side of the contested border the houses stand.
