Princely Hunger Strike…

Prince Sisowath Thomico, a member of the opposition CNRP (and ousted from the FUNCINPEC a few years ago), planned to start a hunger strike at the riverfront pagoda this morning at 10:00 to protest the results of the 2013 parliamentary election results, but he had to revise his plan and settle for Wat Phnom.

Only the pigeons in front of the Royal Palace will not complain about the police blocking access to Sisowath Quay yet again, causing major traffic jams in the streets West of the Palace.

UPDATE: Police forces evicted Prince Sisowath Thomico from Wat Phnom during the night, possibly having arrested a few monks in the process.

The other 2013 elections photographs are HERE.
