PHNOM PENH - A Cambodian court jailed a fixer and translator for two years on Wednesday for his role in making a documentary about sex trafficking in the Southeast Asian country which the government said contained “fake news”.

Rath Rott Mony, 48, was arrested in Thailand and sent back to Cambodia last year as he attempted to travel to the Netherlands with his family after helping produce the documentary for the Russia Today channel. Judge Koy Sao said Mony, who is also the president of the Cambodian Construction Workers Trade Union Federation , was convicted of incitement to cause discrimination, without elaborating.
