Park Not Free On Day 3…
The third attempt in as much days by Mu Sochua, opposition CNRP lawmaker, to reach the center of ‘Freedom Park’ was again prevented by municipal security guards who took over from a first blockade by a unit of riot police. The lawmaker made her point clear: freedom of expression, since a violent crackdown in early January (see HERE), is still not allowed at ‘Freedom Park’. Closely monitored by a considerable amount of journalists and human rights observers, she made several attempts to break through the barrage, holding and reading cards which mentioned the Cambodian laws regarding freedom of expression and freedom of assembly.
