CNRP Ends Its Three-Day Mass Protest

Cambodia (Kohker) - The CNRP’s three-day mass demonstration held at Phnom Penh’s Freedom Park ended this evening. Before announcing to close the mass protest, CNRP president Sam Rainsy and Vice president Kem Sokha told their supporters that the CNRP would continue its political talks with the CPP in order to demand what they want.

“We want a solution by peaceful means and through negotiations,” the CNRP leaders said, vowing that the opposition lawmakers would not attend the National Assembly’s first session and would continue the mass demonstration until justice is found for voters.

The tense situation in Phnom Penh capital has eased after Monday’s meeting. Barbed wire barricades set up by the authorities to block some main streets were also removed on yesterday afternoon.
