Cambodian opposition leader Kem Sokha stands trial on treason charges.

He was arrested in 2017 and his opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party was banned ahead of a 2018 election in which the party of longtime leader Hun Sen won all the parliamentary seats.

The trial was postponed from January last year.

In early August last year, former CNRP officials formed new parties to try to restore democracy to Cambodia, after asking Hun Sen to reinstate their political rights by dropping an order banning them from politics for five years that accompanied the court-ordered dissolution of the party.

Kem Sokha, 68, is in political limbo awaiting the resumption of a trial that has been put off in what analysts say is a
government tactic to tie him down through the next election cycle.
