Around 9 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, striking casino workers began holding each other’s hands as they faced down a team of an estimated 100 uniformed police officers. Already, eight workers, including senior union leaders, had been arrested that evening from their union offices.

 

The protesters were now being prevented from leaving an area to the west of the casinos to go home, as authorities attempted to make further arrests. “We are holding each other’s hands to prevent them from [more] arrests,” said Re Thearath. “They’re in pursuit of arresting people who have held the microphones.”

 

Around 9:30 p.m., police arrested a ninth worker, Touch Sereymeas, from in front of NagaWorld 2. Sereymeas had previously been misidentified as a Japanese agent in an anonymous Facebook page widely shared through government-aligned media channels. About 150 workers remained near the Chuon Nath roundabout.
