geovalin Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 On the occasion of sixth death anniversary of prominent social commentator Kem Ley, scores gathered at the site where the political commentator was assassinated on July 10, 2016. Ley was shot dead, while having his morning coffee at a cafe in a gas station at Tonle Bassac commume in Chamkar Mon district. More than 100 youth and civil society officials yesterday attended the wreath laying ceremony for the slain political commentator at the site, where they renewed demands to reopen an investigation into his murder. Separately, his wife and sister organised prayer meetings in which several people paid tributes to the human rights activist who was murdered in broad daylight in Phnom Penh. While Ley’s wife Bou Rachna, now living in Australia, organised a prayer meeting at the Cambodian Victoria Association in Australia, his sister Kem Thavy living in Takeo province organised a memorial event in Takeo province. Meanwhile, Interior Ministry spokesman General Khieu Sopheak said yesterday that he was not sure whether the wreath laying ceremony was held with the permission of the owner of the site. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501110020/kem-ley-supporters-gather-on-his-6th-death-anniversary/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
