An attempted coup by Prince Norodom Chakrapong, an estranged son of Sihanouk, and dissident general Sin Song was quashed in July 1994.
It provided for the exiled NorodomRanariddh to be tried in absentia on charges of smuggling arms and colluding with Khmer Rouge rebels, and, if found guilty, to be pardoned by his father, King Norodom Sihanouk to enable him to participate in the July 1998 general election.
As expected, Ranariddh was found guilty in absentia in ‘show trials’ in March 1998 and was sentenced to 30 years' imprisonment and a US$50 million fine.
