Cambodia’s Appeal Court on February 11 denied bail requests for 21 protesters who were detained following violent clashes last month.
Presiding Judge Khun Leang Meng made the decision after a three-hour hearing.
The detainees were charged with intentionally causing violence and destroying property.
Sam Sokong, a lawyer for the detainees, told reporters after the hearing that they will appeal against the decision at the Supreme Court.
Twenty-three protesters were arrested during violent clashes in protests demanding higher salaries for garment workers early last month. Two of them were released on February 8.
