Violence Calls For Violence…[View all 23 images by John Vink]

 CAMBODIA, Phnom Penh. 15/07/2014: Demonstrators confront municipal guards after they ripped off a banner attached by the protesters to the barbed wire fence during the demonstration staged by the opposition CNRP to demand access to 'Freedom Park' which was cordoned off by barbed wire and police forces after a violent crackdown on striking workers in the aftermath of the 2013 elections.

Violence Calls For Violence…

John Vink | 15 July 2014

 
The notoriously violent Municipal Security Guards for the first time took a serious beating today at a rallye called by the opposition CNRP requesting that ‘Freedom Park’, fenced off by barbed wire and a 24h presence of riot police since a violent crackdown of striking workers in the aftermath of the 2013 elections, be returned to the public as an open space where freedom of expression could again prevail.

Several Municipal Security Guards were seriously injured and brought to the hospital.

Three CNRP lawmakers were detained upon leaving the area where the demonstration took place and are held at the Phnom Penh central police station.
