HE: Even in cyberspace Cambo­dians must ask for permission to demonstrate.

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

You also need official permission to gather in a private home if you are an NGO, even when wearing different colour shirts...

Police put an end to gathering of farmers in Prey Veng

Niem Chheng

Police who shut down a gathering of 30 people in a private home in Prey Veng province yesterday justified the action by saying the organisers had failed to notify the district governor in writing beforehand.

The NGO Coalition of Cambodian Farmer Communities (CCFC) arranged the meeting at the house in Ba Phnom district’s Boeung Preah commune to discuss farmers’ rights, quality of life and political empowerment.

Under the 2009 Law on Peaceful Demonstrations, public protests require official notification to district or local authorities. However, the organisers said the gathering was neither public, nor a protest...

Just goes to show the bad planning.,,,, If it was a CPP meeting, there would be food and beer and they would call it a birthday party.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

That truly is a new low as far as I'm concerned. Cambodians are fucked with a capital F, U, C, K, E and D. It also goes to show just how volatile the gov thinks the situation is. Maybe it will all kick off this election after all. As I posted before, a local I know reckons it will all kick off in the countryside first. Maybe as they are the ones who aren't seeing the spoils.

What do members who live in the sticks think?
"Can you spare some cutter for an old man?"
