Phnom Penh: At the end, judges of the Appeal court decided to cut short Mam Sonando’s jail term to 8 months. The term of this new decision will end his jail term on 15 March 2013 and he will be released on 16 March 2013.
During the hearing held on 14 March 2013 for Mam Sonando and two other villagers from Proma village, judge Khun Leang Meng decided to reduce Mam Sonando’s 20-year jail sentence to 5 years. However, the sentence will be upheld for 8 months only. Since he was detained since 15 July 1012, his sentence will end on 15 March 2013.
Furthermore, the two Proma villagers who were also sentenced with Mam Sonando saw their sentence reduced to 5 years and their sentence will be upheld for 10 months only, counting from the day of their arrest. They will be released on 16 March 2013 also.
For Mam Sonando, the judge decided to change his accusation of forming a secession zone against the government to forest destruction involved in the land dispute in Proma village, Kampong Damrey commune, Chhlong district, Kratie province during the period of April to May 2012.
The 72-year-old Mam Sonando was initially sentenced by the Phnom Penh municipal court to 20 years of jail term for forming a secession zone against the government. Mam Sonando was accused of being the ringleader in forming a secession zone and fomenting insurrection, as well as forming forces to fight against the government.
However, all accusations leveled against Mam Sonando were rejected by Mam Sonando himself, as well as by the civil society. There was no sufficient proof to charge Mam Sonando and the villagers.

If you are stay and fight like Mam Sonando, finally you will be free. Unlike fugitive Sam Rainsy cannot stop running around like frighten rabbit, you will never been freed.
Fugitive Sam Rainsy, if you want to be free, please come and serve jail time like Mam Sonando.
Pi Anh.
AH Kwak Hun Sen publicly annouce for Mom Sonando arrest as the ring leader of an anti-government. Now Mom Sonando is free, Ah Kwak will bite his own words.
Ah Pi Anh,
Mr. Sam Rainsy is very much different from Mr.Mam Sonando.
Mr.Rainsy could unseat Hun Sen in a free and fair election.
That is why Hun Sen is scared.
When Hun is no longer in power, Hanoi will terminate him.
I'm glad he is free at last. Thanks no thanks kangaroo courts.
No Kangaroo court? AH Kwak Hun Sen knows that the election is nearing. He is once again using the court to release him. Dont forget it was AH Kwak Hun Sen that yelled publicly for the arrest and prosecution of the Mom Sonando before the court.
With no evidence, the court had no choice but to sentence to 20 years in prison under the order of Hun Sen.
Ah Kwak Hun Sen knows that his popularity is going down because of the injustice Khmer people suffer.
The main reason that Sam Rainsy is afraid to serve jail time because he is a gay. He fears that other prisoners will bend him over if he goes to jail.
Make no mistake that whenever people talking about prison, it makes fugitive Sam Rainsy sleepless at night, let alone ever expected that he will dare to return and goes to jail in Cambodia. His father (Sam Sary) had advised him that if there is a problem in Cambodia, just run and run fast like daddy. Then, you will be free because we were born as elite family will not able to cope the condition in prison at all. Prison is just for ordinary people to stay.
Pi Anh.
Ah PEE Anh,
Drink a half gallon of Clorox bleach, and you get better !!!
Ah Ping Ang, how much does Ah Kwak Hun Sen pays you to talk with your Youn brain?
Remember Mom Sonando was jailed by Ah Hun Sen because of ah Suon Srey Rotha!
Wait till Mom Sonando gets out and ask him about it!
Ah Suon Serey Rotha can run but he cannot hide!!!
