The IUF strongly condemns the decision by the Cambodian Supreme Court to affirm the lower court rulings in the guilty verdicts and sentences for IUF affiliate LRSU leaders including President Chhim Sithar who is serving the maximum sentence of 2 years in prison. The Supreme Court ruling effectively rejects the defendants’ appeals and upholds the verdict of the Phnom Penh Court of Appeals from October 2023. Based on Article 439 of the Cambodia Criminal Procedure Code, the verdict of the Supreme Court is final.
