柬埔寨反对党领袖根索卡因叛国罪被正式起诉，如果罪名成立，将面临15到30年刑期。
柬埔寨首都金边的一家法院星期二宣布，柬埔寨反对党救国党主席根索卡被控与外国势力秘谋，企图颠覆政府。
根索卡的女儿在推特上说，根索卡的家星期天被突袭，他和保镖在突袭中被捕。柬埔寨政府说，抓捕根索卡是因为他在澳大利亚墨尔本一家私人柬埔寨广播网上发表的视频评论。根索卡在这段2013年的视频中声称，他得到了美国的帮助，在柬埔寨建立亲民主运动。
根索卡推特帐户上星期一写着：“我可能失去自由，但希望自由永远不会在柬埔寨死去。”
Cambodian opposition leader Kem Sokha has been formally charged with treason, and is facing a sentence between 15 to 30 years in jail if convicted.
A court in the capital, Phnom Penh, announced Tuesday that the leader of the Cambodia National Rescue Party is accused of secretly colluding with a foreign entity to undermine the government.
Sokha was arrested Sunday during a raid on his home, along with his bodyguards, according to a tweet by his daughter, Kem Monovithya. The government said it arrested Sokha based on his comments in a video broadcast by the private Cambodian Broadcasting Network, based in Melbourne, Australia. In the video, which dates back to 2013, Sokha claims he has received help from the United States to build a pro-democracy movement in Cambodia.
A post on his Twitter feed Monday said “I may lose my freedom, but may freedom never die in Cambodia.”
