Phnom Penh (FN), Mar. 12 – The spokesperson of the prosecution attached to Phnom Penh Municipal Court said in a press release that the prosecutors did not fabricated conspiracy theories about the United States during Kem Sokha’s treason trial.

“The prosecutors did not accuse the United States, any other states or agencies. The prosecutors did accuse Kem Sokha of conspiring with foreigners in accordance with the legal procedures of the Kingdom of Cambodia,” according to the press release dated Thursday.

The reaction came after US Ambassador to Cambodia W. Patrick Murphy said on Thursday that he is troubled by fabricated conspiracy theories at the treason trial of opposition party leader Kem Sokha.

“We are troubled to see prosecutors that have introduced into the courtroom fabricated conspiracy theories about the United States,” the ambassador told reporters after attending Kem Sokha’s treason trial on Thursday.

Kem Sokha, leader of the court-dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party, has been accused of conspiring with foreigners to topple the legitimate Royal Government of Cambodia. If found guilty, Sokha faces up to 30 years imprisonment.

The trial has been participated and observed by the local and international public.
