PHNOM PENH, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's Ministry of Interior filed a complaint to the Supreme Court on Friday requesting the dissolution of the country's largest opposition party after its leader Kem Sokha was charged with "treason."
"Today, we filed a complaint to the Supreme Court to ask for the dissolution of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP)," Ky Tech, a lead lawyer for the Ministry of Interior, told reporters.
The complaint also requests the court to ban the CNRP's leaders from getting involved in political activity after the party is dissolved, he added.
Ky Tech said his lawyers team presented 21 pieces of evidence to the court, including three video clips showing CNRP leader Kem Sokha telling his supporters about his conspiracy with foreign powers in an attempt to topple the legitimate Cambodian government.
