The CNRP Still Has Legs…
The opposition CNRP held a commemoration ceremony for the 1997
grenades attack near the former National Assembly on a Sam Rainsy Party
rally which killed 16 and injured over 100, Sam Rainsy included.
The demonstration ban imposed by the actual government following the
violent crackdown on striking workers and CNRP supporters early January
was somehow circumvented and a march in the blistering heat, all the way
from the ceremonial ground to the CNRP headquarters in Chak Angré was
organised. It was the first significant CNRP demonstration since the
public forum at Freedom Park was suppressed. The CNRP held a congress on
its premises, which was the only legal alternative to a prohibited
gathering at Freedom Park. True, the 800 or 1000 CNRP supporters spilled
over on the road somewhat…
