Police Detain Three Mobile Phone Promoters
Enforcing a new ban against hanging posters and distributing promotional leaflets in Phnom Penh, police detained three Smart Mobile promoters while they were distributing flyers ahead of a music concert Tuesday, a company representative said. … Boeng Trabek commune police chief Nheng Samoeun said that he detained the three as a warning, as distributing any printed material is illegal since city authorities had banned companies from doing so. … “Important Asean guests from overseas travel along this road, which has nice hotels like the Intercontinental, so we must make our surrounding environment clean and secure,” Mr. Bote said, adding that the ban should also apply to street beggars and flower sellers. …
