Kem Sokha, President of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), attends a congress at the party Headquarters in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, March 2, 2017. Kem Sokha was released from prison on Monday after spending more than a year in jail on treason charges but remains under house arrest in the capital, Phnom Penh. Kem Sokha, 65, is the leader of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), which was dissolved as part of the crackdown. Restrictions placed on Kem Sokha include a ban on him meeting CNRP officials. Hun Sen had been under pressure to release Kem Sokha and observers say he has been relaxing his stance against critics since the July election win, which secured him another five years in power.
