Phnom Penh (FN), Feb. 27 - Phnom Penh Judge Ros Piseth, on Tuesday, issued an order to confiscate the land and offices of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) that belongs to Sam Rainsy, former president of CNRP.

The court will temporarily confiscate Sam Rainsy’s assets, including land and buildings located in Sangkat Chak Angre Leu, Khan Mean Chey, Phnom Penh unless Rainsy deposited 4,240,000,000 Riels ($1,060,000) to the Court.

Sam Rainsy, in self-exiled abroad since last year, has faced several lawsuits and conviction on defamation, incitement, and disinformation.
