Freedom Park remains closed to public

Twenty-three labor activists are free from jail, but Freedom Park remains closed to the public. The park is a government-sanctioned place of protest, but it was closed after opposition demonstrations there in April. ... Phnom Penh spokesman Long Dimanche said there is “no threat” of protests anymore, so the roads are open. But there are no plans to reopen the park. Yem Ponharith, a spokesman for the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party, said authorities should open the park—“and leave it as before for freedom of expression.”
