geovalin Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 PHNOM PENH, Oct 17 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): More than 1,000 followers of League for Democracy Party (LDP) president Khem Veasna, whose doomsday prediction drew thousands of his supports to his plantation in Siem Reap province to escape the purported apocalypse, have refused to leave, according to provincial police chief Teng Channath. Channath said such a mass gathering needs permission from the local authorities. “Entering the plantation is forbidden unless Khem Veasna, or an LDP representative, submits a letter seeking permission from the authorities,” he said, adding that the letter needs to state the reasons for the gathering in order to comply with the law on assemblies by political parties. He said the fact that Veasna’s supporters refuse to leave the plantation has prompted the authorities to implement measures to prevent new people from gathering there. Channath said authorities are not allowing any more people to enter the plantation because they need to maintain the wellbeing of children and the elderly who are living at the location already. read more https://www.thestar.com.my/aseanplus/aseanplus-news/2022/10/17/cambodia-over-1000-doomsday-believers-still-refuse-to-leave-siem-reap-plantation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
