Mech Dara, charged with incitement over social media posts, freed on bail after filmed apology to country’s leaders

Mech Dara, one of Cambodia’s most prominent journalists, known for exposing the country’s billion-dollar scam industry, has been released on bail after a video of him apologising to the country’s leaders appeared in pro-government media.

Dara was arrested last month while travelling with his family, and charged with incitement over social media posts.
