PHNOM PENH, 3rd August 2012 (Cambodia Herald) - The Court of Appeal offered clemency to Sam Rainsy lawmaker Mu Sochua Friday, enabling her to resume drawing her National Assembly salary and to get her parliamentary immunity back.

Under the law, the opposition lawmaker will have her immunity restored in a month if there are no complaints against her.

"I have been waiting for justice for nearly three years, and the court has already cut my salary which is worth 16.5 million riel," she told reporters after the hearing.

Prime Minister Hun Sen sued Mu Sochua in 2009 for defamation after she accused him of making derogatory remarks about her. The court cut her monthly salary at the National Assembly after she refused to pay a fine as ordered.
