Looking For Sam Rainsy…

Treuy Sla (Kandal) seemed to be under siege: riot police all over the place, in schools, in pagodas, at the police station. I spent three hours and 120Km looking for an opposition CNRP meeting with Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha, before learning the meeting was canceled because of a heavy police presence.

Meanwhile 11 people were arrested in front of the US embassy while protesting for the release of 23 people jailed on January 2nd and 3rd during the violent crackdown by the army on the striking workers.

I chose the wrong horse today…

UPDATE at 12:24… The CNRP meeting might still take place at 2:00pm…
