Cambodian Ruling Party Spokesman, Sok Ey San, has rejected criticism of the conviction of Cambodian-American lawyer Theary Seng, stating that calls for her release from the US State Department and a UN working group are a violation of Cambodia's sovereignty. Seng was sentenced to six years in prison on treason charges in June 2022, prompting condemnation from rights groups and the US government. The UN working group described her conviction as a result of her exercise of her right to freedom of expression, and the US State Department continues to condemn her conviction and sentence.
