After the brutal crackdown (see HERE)
yesterday on striking workers at Veng Sreng road in the industrial area
of Phnom Penh, resulting in three dead, many wounded and several
arrested, the government flexes more heavy muscles by replacing the
gendarmerie at Veng Sreng road by heavily armed military units and by
having Freedom Park, which was the core of the opposition CNRP
demonstrations throughout the past weeks, evacuated by a band of
municipal workers armed with steel bars and other various weapons.
