It Was A Lot About Death Today…
First the (unauthorised) commemoration of the 347 young souls who were crushed to death during a stampede on the Koh Pich bridge at the 2010 Water Festival (see part of the story HERE). It was organised by the opposition CNRP, one day ahead of the official (and obviously authorised) commemoration which will be held by the ruling CPP on the 22nd.
Later that same evening, a few human rights organisations, together with a few communities and restless monks, held an unauthorised vigil at the Olympic Stadium, to celebrate the ‘International Day to End Impunity’, near the place where Khem Sambo, a journalist with the Moneasake Khmer, was killed in July 2008. Nine journalists have been killed in Cambodia since 1992. It is not Syria of course, but still… It is nine too many. Especially because no one was ever really brought before a courtroom for the killings.
Yes… All with the Sony RX1…
