Queen Mother’s Birthday…

The Boeung Kak Lake community staged a demonstration to request the release of Yorm Bopha, land rights activist jailed to 2 years imprisonment for allegedly having beaten up two moto taxi drivers and Amnesty International Prisoner of Conscience, in front of the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh (Cambodia) on the occasion of the Queen Mother’s birthday. Riot police pushed back the demonstrators after a stand off of more than two hours.
