Phnom Penh (FN), September - After discussing with Kem Sokha, president of CNRP, Kem Sokha's lawyer officially filed a series of appeals to the Supreme Court on Friday.

The court has recently expressed deep regret that Sokha's lawyers boycotted the hearing without explaining the reason of his appeal.

The press release confirmed that the interpretation of the violation of the rights of Kem Sokha's defendants in the public was not properly validated.

"During the interrogation period, Kem Sokha was considered to be an accused person; hence, using Articles 300 and 305 of the criminal code to require Kem Sokha to be present in a hearing is a serious misunderstanding,” stated the Appeal Court.

Khun Leang Meng, Vice-President of the Appeal Court decided on Tuesday to uphold the decision of the PPMC Judge and ordered to continue detaining Kem Sokha, according to Touch Tharith, deputy secretary-general and the spokesman of Appeal Court.
