Authorities in Siem Reap yesterday blocked a march celebrating International Human Rights Day (IHRD), as officials in Phnom Penh reiterated their threat to shut down a planned mass rally in the capital on Thursday.

As IHRD, officially on December 10, approaches, associated demonstrations across the Kingdom are gaining momentum. Yesterday, rallies were held in five provinces – Koh Kong, Siem Reap, Takeo, Kratie and Svay Rieng.

In Siem Reap, 600 people hailing from 13 communities, many embroiled in land disputes, and organisations such as the Informal Economy Association, gathered in Slakram commune but were blocked by authorities as they tried to march to another location.
