Ex Khmer Rouge Stronghold Not Safe For CNRP?
The opposition CNRP held a press conference following their attempt the previous day to reach Anlong Veng, a former Khmer Rouge stronghold. The presence of army units and groups of civilians on the access road from Siem reap who threatened to block access to the CNRP convoy were deemed menacing enough to cancel a planned visit by the CNRP co-presidents to sympathisers from the party at the house of Nhem En. Nhem En was one of the photographers at the infamous S21, a Khmer Rouge interrogation centre, who defected to the the Khmer rouge in 1995 and was a CPP deputy district governor until he defected to the CNRP last March.
