CNRP Talks Mass Protests After Sokha Conviction
The Cambodia Daily | 12 Sept. 2016
Opposition leaders on Sunday called on supporters to consider mass
demonstrations after the conviction on Friday of CNRP Vice President Kem
Sokha, while a government spokesman warned that those who attempted to
heed the call to action would pay a “very high price.”
Speaking via videolink to some 300 CNRP youth activists from Kandal
province at the party’s headquarters in Phnom Penh, opposition leader
Sam Rainsy asked supporters if they were ready to take to the streets to
demand justice.
“If you consider that it is right, we must arrange mass
demonstrations like 2013 and early 2014,” said Mr. Rainsy, who is living
in self-imposed exile in France to avoid jail time.
“Are you ready to join a mass demonstration to demand justice for
Khmer people? Do you agree?” he asked, to which the youth activists
shouted “Yes!”
