CNRP to Hold Second 3-Day Mass Protest
The opposition CNRP has sent a letter to municipal authorities informing them that a mass demonstration planned for Wednesday at Freedom Park to coincide with the anniversary of the 1991 signing of the Paris Peace Agreement will now be a three-day affair and include marches to at least seven foreign embassies. The letter, dated Wednesday, says that the demonstration—which will run from 7 a.m. Wednesday until 6 p.m. Friday—will be held to again push for an independent investigation into the July 28 national election and to deliver a petition calling on the 18 signatories of the 1991 agreement to intervene in the country. … City Hall spokesman Long Dimanche said municipal authorities will meet with CNRP leaders at 8 a.m. today to discuss the opposition’s planned demonstration and marches but declined to comment further. National military police spokesman Lieutenant General Kheng Tito said that military police would follow orders from City Hall to either stop opposition supporters from marching or to provide them with security as they march. …
