Download In Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge Tribunal has been described as "dying, if not dead already" amid concerns it will fail to complete any further cases.

The court began work in 2006 but has delivered just one verdict - against Duch, the head of a torture centre.

Now it's struggling to complete a second case before the ageing defendants are disqualified due to poor health or die.

Radio Australia Southeast Asia correspondent Zoe Daniel reports from the former Khmer Rouge stronghold of Pailin.

Download Prominent Cambodian journalist and activist Mam Sonando has been sentenced to 20 years in jail.

He was arrested in July, accused of masterminding a secessionist plot in the Kratie Province.

The village has been the site of a long-running and violent land dispute.

Mam Sonando's Beehive Radio station is one of the few independent media outlets in Cambodia and regularly airs the voices of opposition parties and those critical of the government.

Rights groups say his sentencing is the latest attempt by the government to silence its critics in the lead-up to next year's national elections.

Borin Noun reports.
