Monks Are Citizens…

A little less than 100 monks tried to reach the Royal Palace in the afternoon to pray for peace and to ask King Sihamoni to postpone the opening session of the National Assembly. The newly elected opposition CNRP MP’s refuse to attend as their demands for an independent investigation regarding the frauds during the 2013 legislative elections were not met.

The monks were blocked by police barricades and meditated and prayed for some 30 to 45 minutes on the road.

The other 2013 elections photographs are HERE.
