Street More Free Than Freedom Park…
The 4th attempt, under close scrutiny of journalists, human rights workers and citizen journalists, by Mu Sochua, CNRP lawmaker, to reach the center of ‘Freedom Park’ this morning was again prevented by security guards from the municipality.
Moments later, some 100 people were protesting on the sidewalk opposite the municipal court where a bail hearing was held for Vorn Pov, a union leader jailed during a miltary crackdown on striking workers at the beginning of January. A riot police intervention came only after the crowd crossed the road and massed at the entrance gate of the court.
UPDATE at 11:32: bail was denied (again)…
