CNRP Prays for Victims of 1997 Grenade Attacks

Cambodia (Kohker) – This morning, opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) held a religious ceremony to pray to the souls of people who were killed in grenade attacks on March 30, 1997.

About 300 CNRP officials and relatives of the victims attended the ceremony which was held in front of the stupa for the victims located in a park across the street from the previous National Assembly building in Phnom Penh.

On the occasion, CNRP leaders called on the authorities to find and arrest the perpetrators, who toasted 4 grenades on an opposition rally at the place 16 years ago that killed at least 16 people and wounded more than 100 others, and send them to justice.

“Until now, the authorities have not found the murderers yet,” CNRP President Sam Rainsy said, adding that the CNRP still determines to find the murderers.
