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.”
