Peaceful walking rally in TTP today

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.

Peaceful walking rally in TTP today

Post by StroppyChops »

I was travelling through TTP this afternoon, turning from MTT onto the lane beside the sewer, and had to wait at intersections that were all under police direction (the boys in dark green) as they escorted a walking rally of some few hundred people walking silently along poo-creek. No signage of any political party, and only one or two actual banners - hand written on a sheet in Khmer. What was weird was the silence - hundreds of people walking singly or two abreast (no, Vlad), not talking, nothing from the peanut gallery, and even the police escort seemed to want to make it silently clear they were just doing their jobs.

So, in true Cambodian journalistic style...

A group of unknown number was walking from an unknown point of origin to an unknown destination for unknown reasons, but doing it silently and with a police escort.

Couldn't say - possibly, but without the banners and placards - but can I just say I like their hats?
