Cambodia v. Thach Setha

From mid-2023 through early 2024, the Clooney Foundation for Justice’s TrialWatch initiative monitored two criminal proceedings against Thach Setha, a prominent leader of the main political opposition party in Cambodia. Mr. Setha was arrested and detained by the government shortly after giving a speech critical of the government, ostensibly in relation to forgery charges. He was then also charged with incitement while in pretrial detention on the forgery charges.
