Mam Sonando, the owner of Beehive Radio who was jailed for eight months and recently released, says he will continue to operate his radio station and airing stories on sensitive issues, despite the prospect of more incarceration.
Mam Sonando was arrested and jailed in July 2012 and released in March, on a suspended sentence by a Supreme Court decision. He has been jailed on three separate occasions, after broadcasting on sensitive issues like government corruption and land grabs.
His Beehive Radio is one of the few remaining independent broadcasters in Cambodia and airs programming from the Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, Radio France International and others.
In studio interviews at the Voice of America in Washington Monday, Mam Sonando said his radio station maintains its independence.
