The people who were sentenced by the National Election Committee after the elections have 30 days to settle their fine, reminded the NEC on Friday 19 September in a communiqué.
“In case they don’t pay their fine, legal measures will be taken”, states the communiqué.
Amongst the four people sentenced over violations of the election law is the opposition leader, Sam Rainsy, who will have to shell out 10 million riel (2,500 dollars) for having insulted the three leaders of the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP).
During the election campaign Sam Rainsy had accused Chea Sim, Heng Sa, Rin and Hun Sen of being “thieves of the nation”, using a Global Witness report about deforestation.
Considering Sam Rainsy’s remarks to be an “unforgivable” insult, Hun Sen stated on the 17th of September that the CPP would probably file a complaint against the deputy, above his sentence given by the NEC.
Two out of the three other people who were sentenced are CPP militants, accused of having committed frauds during the election period. They’ll each have to settle a fine of 5 million riel.
