No Violence Yet…
But it was close…
Some 60 residents from Boeung Kak Lake (see here and here) were demonstrating for the release of their fellow land rights activist Yorm Bopha in front of the Ministry of Interior when a slightly smaller group of ‘motodup’ (moto-taxi drivers) showed up and staged a counter-demonstration in favour of their colleague who allegedly was beaten up by Yorm Bopha. The ‘motodup’ are affiliated to the CCDA, a union close to the ruling CPP. Physical violence was avoided when the Boeung Kak Lake women marched in front of the ‘motodup’ towards the Ministry of Justice.
