UN criticises Cambodia over murder trial
Australian Broadcasting Corporation
A United Nations human rights envoy has criticised a Cambodia court for upholding the conviction of two men whom human rights groups allege were framed over the murder of a prominent union leader.
Born Samnang and Sok Samouen were sentenced to 20 years in jail for the killing of union leader Chea Vichea, despite rights groups pointing out a lack of evidence and holes in the prosecution's arguments.
The United Nations special representative for human rights in Cambodia, Yash Gai, says the appeal court ruling is a "grave injustice" which underlines "continuing impunity" in the country.
He called for an impartial and credible investigation into the murder.

Thanks Yasghai for your caring of Cambodia.
CPP is the murderer behind the two innocent men...
You (Yash Ghai) aint calling for
anything, you corrupted
motherfucker.
There are so many people were born with animal like who have always blamed others by not accepting their own responsibility in destroying Cambodia and tehir own citizens
Who is "blaming"? we
are "telling", "declaring", ...,
"asserting". Do you know what the
difference is?
Please yash Gai don't blame the Court!There's always the Strongman behind the Court. The Court is just the Machine of the CPP.
Yep, someone got to be in charge
of the court. And foreigners and
NGO can't help, but making things
worse. Most likely, they will
always end up contempt our court
and causing nighmare for everyone.
