As many as 1,000 protesters are expected to greet Prime Minister Hun Sen in California next month when he attends the US-ASEAN summit, according to one of the demonstration’s organisers. The premier on Monday warned that any rallies that met him during his trip – the first time he’s been invited by a US president to visit the country – would spark ruling-party demonstrations against opposition leaders in Cambodia, a threat which raised the spectre of pro-government protests in October that ended with two Cambodia National Rescue Party lawmakers being savagely beaten outside parliament.

The CNRP, and its US fundraising networks, were quick to distance themselves from any planned protests after the warning, a position spokesman Yim Sovann maintained yesterday. But members of the Cambodia-America Alliance say they’re undeterred, and will hold a “rally against tyrant Hun Sen” at Sunnylands resort in Rancho Mirage.
