Cambodian opposition leader Kem Sokha has been granted a royal pardon from his 27-year sentence for treason, a month after an appeals court affirmed his conviction and punishment.

Hun Sen, the Senate president acting as head of state in the absence of King Norodom Sihamoni, issued the pardon freeing Kem Sokha from house arrest.

Sihamoni is in China on an extended stay for medical treatment.
