In a recent development, Cambodia has sentenced 10 activists from the group Mother Nature Cambodia to up to six years in prison each on charges of conspiring against the state. The activists, known for their passionate efforts to protect Cambodia's environment, have been targeted by the government for allegedly encouraging social unrest.
The activists' peaceful green campaigns have gained international attention, with support from prominent figures like climate activist Greta Thunberg. In 2015, they successfully opposed a plan for a hydroelectric dam that would have harmed a pristine rainforest valley.
