Hmm. No bodies. Cambodians love to take videos of dead people.

I smell fake news.

Photos from various Khmer news.
That first photo, with the woman holding a banner of the couple and the hope it represents, next to the protester in handcuffs, is pitiful.

I so hope the news of the deaths is grossly exaggerated, but even one is too many.

Haha, the Phnom Penh Post is admitting they covered fake news!

BKKhooker called it!

I guess they are technically saying that officials are denying it, but smells like fake news.

Two people were wounded - from Khmer Times 2 hours ago. They say that shots were fired in the air, and one hit a protester in the buttocks and another person was shot in the thigh.

Two villagers injured in a clash with armed authority
8 March 2018
At least two villagers among 200 were injured when they confronted with about 100 officials in Kratie’s Snuol district on Thursday afternoon.

About 200 disgruntled villagers gathered and blocked national route 76 A in Kratie province’s Snuol district today and destroyed an excavator as officials and rubber company were measuring the boundary of the rubber company, an official said.

Kong Kimny, Snuol district governor, said that about 200 people blocked route 76 A in Snuol district today when about 100 officials, including Memot Rubber Plantation Company attempted to measure and build a boundary of company’s land.

Mr Kimny said that most of the protesters were armed with wood sticks, machetes, slingshots, metal pipes and home-made rifles and prevented officials from entering the land.

“They use slingshot and home-made rifles to attack our officials first, leaving some of our forces injured on their heads and bodies,” he said “Then our authority shot into the air to scare them away many times.”

“Two people got injured. One person is injured on the thigh and another is injured at the buttock and they are transferred to district referral hospital. Our injured officials are also sent there,” said Mr Kimny.

Gen. Kirt Chantharith, spokesman for National Police told Khmer Times that the information he received and confirmed with police in Kratie province only two villagers got injured.
