美对柬严判活动人士“深感关注” US Slams 'Harsh' Sentence against Cambodia Gov't Critic

02 October, 2012

美国对柬埔寨对一位知名土地维权人士定罪表示“深感关注”。活动人士索那多被以煽动叛乱罪判处20年徒刑。

美国国务院星期一针对索那多被严判发表声明，敦促柬埔寨政府立即释放71岁的索那多。

星期一柬埔寨一家法庭判定索那多有罪，指控他今年早些时候在柬埔寨东部地区发生一场土地纠纷后，煽动村民自行建国。

索那多否认犯有被指控的罪行。他拥有的蜂窝独立广播电台有时播出批评1985年以来一直在柬埔寨执政的洪森总理的消息。

The United States says it is "deeply concerned" at the conviction of a prominent Cambodian land rights campaigner who was sentenced to 20 years in prison on insurrection charges.

In a statement Monday, the State Department characterized the sentence against Mam Sonando as "harsh" and called on the Cambodian government to immediately release the 71-year-old.

A Cambodian court on Monday convicted Sonando of inciting villagers to try to form their own state following a land dispute in eastern Cambodia earlier this year.

Sonando denied the charges. His radio station, known as Beehive Radio, sometimes broadcasts material critical of Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has ruled Cambodia since 1985.
