Cambodia PM wants official protest venue moved out of town
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Cambodia’s leader has taken a poke at pro-democracy activists and a slap at the United States, suggesting that if the capital’s designated political protest venue is not moved out of town, it might be situated in front of the U.S. Embassy.
Hun Sen said Tuesday that he plans to have Freedom Park — also known as Democracy Square — moved to a location six kilometers (3.6 miles) out of Phnom Penh.
