Phnom Penh Municipal
Hall Warns to Arrest and Break out the Gathering of the Civil Society Group
Around
100 people of the non-governmental organization and union will gather today in
front of the four embassies in Cambodia including the US, UK, French and German
Embassy with the aim of demanding for a release of Mr. Vorn Pov and other 23
activists and workers. Yet, the Phnom Penh Municipal Hall doesn’t allow those
people to do so; otherwise, they will be arrested and broke out the gathering.
Mr. Nay Vongda, Vice-President of investigating and lawyer group of ADHOC
Association, said at least 100 people from organizations, associations and 9
unions have to make a request to release the 23 activists, and we hope that
other embassies, especially the government will consider the request of the civil
society. (Rasmei Kampuchea, 21 January 2014)
