Hun Sen lifts protest ban

Hun Sen lifts protest ban

The Cambodia Herald | 25 Feb. 2014


SIHANOUK (The Cambodia Herald) – Prime Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday called on the authorities to lift their bans on public rallies to grant equal rights to citizens

Speaking at inauguration ceremony of a coal power plant in Sihanouk province, he said the city and provincial authorities have to allow the citizens to exercise their rights to stage  rallies and protests.

There are currently two kinds of protest movements, the ones staged by opposition supporters and the other ones held by the government supporters, said the Premier.
 
He also appealed to the authorities to protect the citizens from both sides during their rallies and protests. 

“Not only the opposition supporters who have the rights to hold protests, but the supporters of the Cambodian People’s Party also have the same right,” he said. 

The Cambodian government recently banned all sorts of rallies and protests in the capital since January after deadly crackdown against striking workers, which left at least five people dead, and some 40 injured.

    He has a plan that is why he did that. Wait and see. Please try to be one step ahead of him or he will nail the protestors again....

  2. I feel like he has a plan as to why he's lifting the ban...especially after his speech saying that if CNRP or garment workers protest then there will be a pro hun sen and pro government supporters protesting in the same area as well...
