Cambodian defense minister warns opposition against violating law in anti-PM Hun Sen protests

Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Tea Banh on Thursday warned main opposition against unlawful acts in its daily protests against Prime Minister Hun Sen’s government. “In the latest development, the opposition’s protesters are demanding the legitimate Prime Minister (Hun Sen) of the government to step down, or to hold a re-election. This demand is out of date and their time has not come,” he told reporters after a conference. He said the country has its own law, the opposition cannot do anything unlawfully to achieve its outlawed ambitious goal. The opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) has launched a new round of daily protests in capital Phnom Penh since Sunday to demand Hun Sen to hold a snap election, or step down. … Tea Banh said demonstrations were their rights, but they had to comply with the nation’s constitution and law in order to avert any adverse impact on economic and social development.
