Phnom Penh Municipal Governor Pa Socheatvong yesterday accused civil society organisations of paying land rights demonstrators to protest against a controversial NGO law that recently passed the National Assembly.

During a speech at a ceremony for the opening of a primary school, Socheatvong insisted that those against the draft Law on Associations and Non-Governmental Organisations (LANGO) are taking advantage of the land rights advocates, and preventing them from getting jobs.

“What do they do for a living besides protesting on the street?

Marching on the street for $5 or $10 per day is these demonstrators’ career,” he said.
