Cambodian activist Sam Sokha was released Feb. 9 after serving a four-year prison term for throwing her shoe at a poster of Prime Minister Hun Sen and sharing it on social media. But the court threatened to jail the former factory worker and opposition supporter for another six months unless she paid a fine of 10 million riels (US $2,460) within a day. Sam Sokha went into debt to avoid going back to jail, while a video of her 2017 shoe toss received fresh attention on social media.
