geovalin Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 A gathering to wait for the end of the world is effectively over even as around 1,000 supporters remain inside politician Khem Veasna’s farm, officials said. Veasna had predicted floods that would wipe out Earth except his farm, drawing thousands of devotees to his Siem Reap property.Authorities last week set a 5:30 p.m. Monday deadline for Veasna’s doomsday gathering to disband, and said today that they had needed to take no action as the moment had passed and the situation settled. Siem Reap deputy provincial governor Ly Samreth said around 6 p.m. that authorities had gone inside the farm on Monday and took names and headcounts. There were around 1,000 people still inside, but they were regular supporters of Veasna’s League for Democracy Party and not a threat. “There is no more gathering based on belief [in the end of the world.] It’s already over,” Samreth said, adding that authorities would continue to monitor the situation. read more https://vodenglish.news/authorities-say-situation-stable-as-deadline-passes-at-politicians-doomsday-farm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
