Re: US Embassy warning
It's nice when the US Embassy has more info about CNRP demos than the local news outlets ...
Anyone heard of demos planned for this week ? Oh yeah, Kem Sokha trial starts Sept 9 ... keep an eye open for demonstrations then.

Re: US Embassy warning
I saw something on Twitter from Sokhas daughter, saying city hall had rejected their submission for this demonstration but they were going to do it anyway.
It could get interesting unless they give last minute permission for this to go ahead.
