Cambodian-American Lawyer and human rights defender, Theary Seng, has been transferred from a remote jail to Prey Sar II Prison in the capital city, Phnom Penh. Seng had been serving a six-year sentence for treason since June 2022. The transfer was requested by her lawyer and supporting NGOs to facilitate her appeal case, which is being tried in the capital. Seng's transfer has been seen by humanitarian groups as a politically motivated persecution, and they are urging the Cambodian judiciary to expedite her appeal process.
