- Description
- A Cambodian man who crashed his speeding BMW at a Melbourne intersection last year, instantly killing a husband and wife, has been sentenced by an Australian judge to more than 12 years in prison.
The Sept. 20 sentence of Doeun Udamseney has been hailed by observers and legal experts in Cambodia who point to numerous other cases of fatal traffic accidents where high-profile government officials and businessmen have faced lenient punishment or no legal consequences at all.
Doeun, 25, is the son of Doeun Sovann, a secretary of state at the Ministry of Interior. He moved to Melbourne when he was 16 and was most recently a nursing student.

- Vietnam has released two prominent political prisoners just one day before its top leader, Communist Party General Secretary To Lam, departed for the United States to address the UN Summit of the Future and the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, according to Vietnamese media. Among those released was Tran Huynh Duy Thuc, who was freed eight months before completing his 16-year sentence, his brother Tran Huynh Duy Tan told Radio Free Asia.

While no official reason was given for the releases, they occurred just one day before To Lam's departure for the UN summit.

- Across Myanmar, tens of thousands of young people — Gen Z — have joined a range of anti-junta forces. These include numerous ethnic armed organizations, like the KNLA, as well as the People’s Defense Force, which is the armed wing of the National Unity Government — the government-in-exile formed by members of the former democratic leadership. In the KNU’s Brigade 6 area alone, thousands of young people have traded in their previous dreams for a sole, unifying goal.
