Phnom Penh – The Appeal court judge announced this Tuesday morning that the delivery of the verdict in Sam Rainsy’s appeal case in the border stakes removal in Chantrea district, Svay Reing province, will be delayed to 13 October 2010 instead.

The decision to delay the delivery of the verdict was made after the Appeal court convened for the case on Tuesday morning. Two of the co-defendants, Mrs. Meas Srey and Mr. Prum Chea, were present during the hearing. The pair was sentenced to 1-year of jail time each. On the other hand, the Svay Rieng provincial court sentenced Sam Rainsy to 2-year of jail time and fined him by more than 60 million riels. Sam Rainsy was charged with uprooting of border stakes in Svay Rieng province on 25 October 2009, and also with falsification on public document in the border dispute between Cambodia and Vietnam.
