Opposition preps plans for demos
The Cambodia National Rescue Party is not done marching.
Speaking at party headquarters yesterday afternoon, CNRP leaders said they plan to establish “democracy squares” in provincial towns and cities to regain momentum lost following last week’s deadly attack on striking workers and the violent destruction of a symbolic protest camp in the capital.
Sam Rainsy, Kem Sokha and other party leaders will travel to Siem Reap, Battambang, Banteay Meanchey and other provinces from Friday to garner support, party officials said.
“We are focusing on the mobilisation of our political forces. The president and vice president will visit Siem Reap, Battambang and Banteay Meanchey from [January] 10 to 12,” CNRP spokesman Yim Sovann said.
