According to the subpoena inked by Judge Sem Sakola on October 9, Kem Sokha has 20 days to prepare and send relevant documents to the court.
On October 6, a group of lawyers on behalf of the Interior Ministry submitted a petition to the Supreme Court to ask for the disbandment of the opposition party, based on complaints from the Cambodian Youth Party (CYP) on October 4 and FUNCIPEC Party on October 5 accusing the CNRP and its President of committing treason.
Kem Sokha has been captured on September 3 for the accusation. Prime Minister Hun Sen on October 2 announced that competent authorities will arrest other people with connection to Kem Sokha’s treason.-VNA
