Cambodian opposition leader Sam Rainsy vowed Wednesday that his party will resume mass demonstrations against Prime Minister Hun Sen’s government now that a ban on public protests imposed amid a violent crackdown last month has been lifted.
Sam Rainsy made the remarks at a rally of his Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) in Kandal province, which went ahead undisturbed despite warnings from Hun Sen of ruling party counter-protests at opposition gatherings.
Thousands of supporters flocked to Wednesday’s rally—the party’s first since Hun Sen lifted the ban a day earlier—where Sam Rainsy called on them to join renewed protests over disputed July elections.
