On 30 August 2010, Leang Sokchouen, staff member of the Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights (LICADHO), was convicted on charges of "disinformation" after a trial marked by numerous procedural flaws. The Appeals Court, in a decision that violates international fair trial standards, upheld his sentence but changed the charge to incitement. Sokchouen was not charged with incitement at his original trial and the charge was not raised during his Appeals Court hearing on 30 June 2011. Cambodian police arrested Sokchouen on 29 May 2010 on charges of involvement in the production and distribution of anti-government leaflets in Takeo province in January. He was held incommunicado for over 33 hours, despite numerous requests by his family and lawyer to visit him. Sokchouen was given a US$500 fine, plus a two-year prison sentence. On 25 May 2012, just five days before his release, Cambodia's Supreme Court upheld the July 2011 verdict. On 30 May 2012, Mr. Sokchouen was released.
