An opposition activist who was jailed after posting comments on Facebook about the government and Cambodia’s constitutional monarch was released on Tuesday after he apologized to Prime Minister Hun Sen and King Norodom Sihamoni.
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court released Yim Sinorn after he posted a video and a statement from prison apologizing for last week’s messages about the king.
The messages drew a lot of attention from online commentators, which prompted the court to charge Yim Sinorn with incitement and with insulting the king. He posted a comment on Facebook on Tuesday that he didn’t intend to insult the king.
“I take this occasion to ask for forgiveness from the king and apologize to Samdech Hun Sen publicly with honesty,” Yim Sinorn said.
In his message last week that led to his address, Yim Sinorm wrote: “According to the people at the coffee shop, today we clearly know who is truly the king.”
Yim Sinorm seemed to be highlighting Sihamoni’s political powerlessness, which is mandated by a requirement in Cambodia’s 1993 Constitution that he reign as a national figurehead while leaving governing to the National Assembly and the prime minister’s Council of Ministers.
A second activist, Hun Kosal, is still being held by authorities.
Hun Kosal later wrote that it has been sad “to see they have hurt the king’s heart and degraded the king’s power in all aspects,” a reference to how Hun Sen’s government has interacted with Sihamoni, who took the throne in 2004.

Appeals to the king
Sihamoni, a European-educated former dance instructor, has preferred to remain in the shadows as king.
But some in the opposition have called on him over the years to challenge Hun Sen’s repression of their ranks. Recently, Hun Sen and his ruling Cambodian People’s Party have been working to silence and intimidate opposition figures ahead of the July general elections.
“As a politician of the new generation, I am determined to use all my ability to join forces with Kem Sokha to protect the power and the throne of the king,” Hun Kosal wrote in another one of his messages last week.
Earlier this month, opposition leader Kem Sokha was sentenced to 27 years in prison for treason. He continues to deny the charges that led to his arrest in 2017, which was made several months after the Cambodia National Rescue Party – which he led – had made large gains in local commune elections.
Yim Sinorn has previously worked as an activist for the now-banned CNRP.
Last week, the prime minister exchanged comments with his own supporters on Yim Sinorn’s Facebook page, suggesting that Yim Sinorn and Hun Kosal were already guilty.
“It would be weird if they are not guilty because [what they said] is not an expression of opinion, but it is a distortion of the truth with an intent,” he wrote. “Whatever it is, leave it for the court to decide.”
After Yim Sinorn released his apology statement on Tuesday, Judge Yi Sok Vouch issued an order to the Prey Sar Prison Department to release him on bail. The order did not give an explanation behind the release.

Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou, visiting mainland China amid ongoing regional military tensions, echoed Beijing’s official line on the democratic island on Tuesday, claiming that people in democratic Taiwan and in communist China are “all ethnically Chinese.”
“People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are ethnically Chinese and are all descendants of the Yan and Yellow Emperors,” Ma said on the first day of his trip, which he has billed as a peace-making mission. But critics say he has undermined the Taiwanese government, which needs U.S. support to fend off Beijing.
His trip comes as Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen prepares to visit the United States starting Wednesday.
Recent opinion polls indicate that there is broad political support for self-rule in Taiwan, where the majority of voters identify as Taiwanese rather than Chinese, and which has never formed part of the 73-year-old People’s Republic of China.
But Beijing regards the island as part of China, and has threatened to invade if Taiwan refuses its plans for “peaceful unification,” a notion Beijing backs up with the claim that people in Taiwan and China are all “from the same family.”
For example, China’s State Council’s Taiwan Affairs Office said in a September 2022 statement: “No individual, nor any force, can change the fact that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same origins, the same language and the same ethnicity.”
Peace is ‘unavoidable responsibility’
Ma visited a mausoleum in Nanjing dedicated to Sun Yat-sen, who founded Ma’s own party, the Kuomintang, and who served as the first president of the 1911 Republic of China after a revolution that toppled the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
Taiwan remains a sovereign state under the same Republic of China name after Kuomintang leaders fled there in 1949 when they lost a civil war to Mao Zedong’s communists.

Ma also said peace was “the unavoidable responsibility of Chinese people on both sides of the Strait.”
“We sincerely hope that the two sides will work together to pursue peace, avoid war, and strive to revitalize China,” Ma said, echoing Chinese President Xi Jinping’s slogan, “the rejuvenation of the great Chinese nation,” a key phrase in Xi’s political lexicon.
While Ma has no scheduled meetings with Chinese leaders, he is being given a red carpet welcome and was met at the airport by the vice chairman of Beijing’s Taiwan Affairs Office.
He was ushered into a waiting high-speed train to Nanjing in a coordinated security operation that saw the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum temporarily closed to visitors, according to the World Journal, a U.S.-based pro-KMT newspaper, and Singapore’s pro-Beijing Lianhe Zaobao newspaper.
Ma met with Xi Jinping in Singapore in 2015 while he was serving his second term as president of Taiwan.
China’s state news agency Xinhua described Ma as a “former Taiwan leader,” rather than former president, adding that he and his delegation had “paid their respects” to Sun and presented a “floral basket” offering in the mausoleum.
“Ma wrote an inscription meaning ‘Peace, endeavor, revitalizing China’ in commemoration,” the brief report said.
Blocked journalists
However, a number of journalists from Taiwan and Hong Kong were unable to cover the trip, according to Hong Kong’s Chinese-language Ming Pao newspaper.
The paper said it had been told that there were no arrangements in place for journalists from Hong Kong or Macau wanting to cover Ma’s trip, and accreditations were only being offered to media organizations from Taiwan.

But the World Journal said the Taiwanese press corps had gotten left behind when Ma boarded the high speed train for Nanjing, prompting a personal apology from Zhong Xiaomin, who heads Shanghai’s municipal branch of the Taiwan Affairs Office.
Taiwan’s Central News Agency said the specific arrangements for the trip weren’t shared with reporters until the last minute, while some parts of the visit had no opportunity to ask Ma or his entourage questions.
The Communist Party-backed English-language Global Times newspaper carried Ma’s comments about shared origins on the front page of its website, and repeated that message in quotes from foreign policy experts.
“During Ma’s eight years as Taiwan’s regional leader (2008-2016), the two sides held 11 high-level talks and signed 23 agreements in fields ranging from economy and tourism to flights,” the paper said.
Trading blame
It blamed Taiwanese President Tsai for current cross-straits tensions, saying she had “actively colluded with anti-China forces in the U.S. and pushed Taiwan to the brink of military conflict.”
Taiwan’s Vice Premier Cheng Wen-tsan said China had instigated the conflict with its military sabre-rattling, and had been interfering in Taiwan’s ability to forge international partnerships and excluding it from international organizations.

“China has been waging a continuous diplomatic siege as well as military threats against Taiwan, and has carried out a number of cognitive operations in recent years,” Cheng said. “Former President Ma … should have a deep understanding of the situation in Taiwan, as it’s a very important issue affecting the survival of our country.”
New People Party Chairwoman and lawmaker Wang Wen-yu called on Ma to cancel the trip, which comes as Honduras switched its diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing.
“China is very malicious and has been systematically suppressing Taiwan’s international space,” Wang told a news conference in Taipei. “I think such actions must be strongly condemned.”
“As we have seen, former president Ma has chosen this time for this visit, and clearly hasn’t made any effort to support Taiwan,” she said.

Former Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou’s trip to mainland China has generated plenty of interest as it is the first time a sitting or former leader from the democratic island has visited communist China.
Taiwanese political commentator Tung Li-Wen blasted the trip, declaring on his YouTube channel that Ma’s chief of staff had said the visit was “about unification talks” between the two sides.
Asia Fact Check Lab (AFCL) found Tung’s statement to be inflated and taken out of context. A recording of the comments reveal that Ma’s office director Hsiao Hsu-tsen was asked by a reporter how Ma would respond if mainland youth raised the issue of reunification during the trip.
Hsiao replied, “Reunification shouldn’t be taboo,” which is what apparently sparked Tung’s reaction.
In Depth
Ma’s office issued a press release on March 19 saying the former president would soon visit China to pay homage to his ancestors. In addition, several students in Ma’s education initiative, “Da Jiu Academy,” will accompany him and engage in cultural exchanges with mainland students, it said.
The March 27-April 7 visit elicited criticism from think tank advisor Tung, who criticized Ma in his March 24 episode of Taiwan Go, an political talkshow with over 190,000 Youtube followers.
Tung claimed Hsiao had stated in an interview with Hong Kong media that “this trip is about unification talks” and that Ma’s trip would be the “crucial first step” toward reunification. Tung and other commentators then proceeded, in turn, to criticize Ma’s office for “not hiding” their intent to bring students to the mainland in order to talk about reunification. This particular episode of Taiwan Go was watched by over 30,000 viewers.
Is Ma’s trip centered around reunification talks?
AFCL found that quotes cited by Tung were taken from a background briefing Hsiao gave to foreign media in Taiwan on March 22, not from interviews with individual media outlets. The briefing was detailed in reports by online media outlets such as Hong Kong’s HK01 and Singapore’sLianhe Zaobao.
Hsiao told AFCL that the comments referred to by Tung were in response to a reporter who asked whether Ma and the students accompanying him to China would avoid responding to questions about unification if mainland students raised the issue during the trip.
Hsiao replied that no topics were off limits during the trip, noting that Taiwan upholds freedom of speech and that the very preamble of the constitution of the Republic of China – the precursor to Taiwan – explicitly uses the word “unification.” He said that if mainland Chinese students wanted to ask about unification, Taiwanese students would of course be willing to respond.
Hsiao emphasized that Tung and other political commentators twisted his response to what was originally a hypothetical question asked by the media and distorted it to seem as if Ma and his entourage were taking the initiative to bring up the topic of reunification with mainland officials.
Is Hsiao himself the only source who can verify his claims?
AFCL separately checked with two independent sources who attended Hsiao’s briefing. Both confirmed Hsiao’s quotes about unification were in response to a question raised by the media.
AFCL also obtained a recording from the briefing itself, in which a female voice is heard saying that Ma and his entourage ought to respond if the issue of reunification is mentioned, given the pluralistic rhetoric in modern China and the fact that cross-strait hostility and hatred has risen in the past few years due to “ultra-nationalist Chinese netizens loudly calling for unification by force.”
Hsiao can be heard in the recording replying that “unification” is in fact written into the preamble of the Republic of China’s constitution. “So I think this is an issue that must be debated or discussed. If the mainland says we want to unify today, then we can also get students to discuss, well, if you want to unify, how can both sides agree? What conditions and situations [would bring about unification]? I don’t think it’s taboo.”
Hsiao stressed that the most important thing is for both parties to reach out and talk about these issues. Remaining in Taiwan and clamoring for more resistance to China won’t solve the problem.
Conclusion
This appears to be a clear case of distorting a comment and taking it out of context. Former President Ma’s chief of staff did not say the reason for Ma’s trip was to discuss unification; he said was willing to discuss the issue if it came up.
Examples of the top 50 ranked foraminifera species from the NORI-D area by abundance. Foraminifera are single-celled protists (very simple micro-organisms) often called ‘armoured amoebae’ because they secrete a tiny shell (or ‘test’) of about 0.5millimeter – 1millimeter long. The scale bar for each example is 100 micrometers and all these individuals would fit on the tip of a pencil.
TMC’s subsidiary NORI submits data collected during two benthic baseline campaigns on the NORI-D area, adding more than 270,000 benthic biological occurrences to the International Seabed Authority’s ‘DeepData’ catalogue of contractor exploration data.
This submission is part of a broader dataset of hundreds of terabytes of data collected by leading independent scientists and expert industry partners during 17 offshore environmental baseline and resource definition campaigns conducted by NORI over the last decade.
Remaining baseline data and samples including geochemical samples and biological samples from the water column are being collated and categorized, with all data expected to be shared with the ISA in the coming months.
The complete NORI-D dataset will be one of the most comprehensive datasets ever gathered in the CCZ and will form the basis of NORI’s Environmental Impact Statement, an integral part of the application to the International Seabed Authority for an exploitation contract in NORI-D area.
NEW YORK, March 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TMC the metals company Inc. (Nasdaq: TMC) (“TMC” or the “Company”), an explorer of the world’s largest estimated undeveloped source of critical battery metals, today announced that its subsidiary NORI had begun the process of submitting data collected during 17 offshore resource definition and environmental baseline campaigns in the NORI-D exploration area to DeepData, an open database of contractor data managed by the International Seabed Authority (ISA).
The submission of the initial batch of data, which includes an extensive set of biological samples and images from the seafloor, follows NORI’s decade-long research efforts to define the polymetallic nodule resource and develop an environmental baseline for its NORI-D exploration area, as part of its Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the NORI-D Nodule Project. Since 2012, the Company has collaborated with leading industry experts and independent scientists from marine research institutions from around the world on its ESIA, gathering data throughout 17 offshore campaigns, representing over 470 operational research days on the NORI-D area.
Collected using a suite of high-tech equipment, the dataset submitted to the ISA includes over 1,400 biological samples from extensive boxcore and multicore sampling, and over 8,000 images analysed for benthic megafauna captured by Remotely Operated Vehicles from two offshore campaigns. This first submission of benthic data will provide a significant expansion to the biological holdings contained within the ISA’s ‘DeepData’ platform by contributing over 270,000 occurrences.
Macrofauna from NORI-D area
A selection of typical macrofaunal species found on the NORI-D area during NORI’s recent environmental baseline work. These species were retained on a 300 micrometer mesh [half the size of a pencil tip] sieve aboard NORI’s vessel. Note: not all images are to scale.
Dr Michael Clarke, Environmental Manager at The Metals Company, said: “There are over a quarter of a million data occurrences in the batch that has just been submitted to the ISA and yet, it is just the tip of the data iceberg collected by NORI to date. This and upcoming data submissions by NORI will help facilitate informed decision-making about the potential impacts of nodule collection operations based on actual environmental data rather than conjecture and speculation which has often dominated the conversation up to this point.”
The data-gathering efforts of the independent scientists involved in NORI’s ESIA program have already begun to yield novel insights about biodiversity, ecosystem processes and how we observe oceanic ecosystems with various papers in peer-reviewed journals.
Dr Adrian Glover, Merit Researcher at Natural History Museum London and benthic macrofauna research lead, commented: “Seven taxonomic papers are currently in preparation from the studies, including two already published” and “The new data from this first tranche of baseline data form the largest molecular-based assessment of quantitative macrofaunal box cores to date in the CCZ. Analysis of an additional 40 box cores is under way to be completed by August 2023.”
Contributions from ROV imagery and specimens collected during NORI-D pelagic campaigns have assisted in resolving diagnostic characteristics of hydrozoans (related to jellyfish). The novel use of the Saildrone ASV (autonomous surface vehicle) to examine micronekton in the open ocean provides some of the only remote sampling of pelagic prey communities in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Such studies are essential to describing the interactions between mesoscale features and pelagic fauna to help understand how these communities will respond to a changing ocean environment that may be induced by nodule collection activities and broader climate-related shifts.
Nodule obligate fauna from the NORI-D area

Over the coming months, NORI will continue working with research teams to fully collate and categorize the hundreds of terabytes of data and thousands of biological samples that have been collected to date. The total NORI-D dataset is expected to be one of the most comprehensive datasets ever compiled in the deep sea. Given the breadth of the dataset, NORI expects numerous further papers to be published in peer-reviewed journals in the coming months and years, adding significantly to society’s understanding of the deep sea.
