Deputy National Police Commissioner Chhay Sinarith yesterday accused local and international organisations of conspiring with the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party to foment rebellion. He warned that conditions were ripe for a so-called colour revolution in the coming months.

Speaking at an annual meeting of internal security forces in Phnom Penh yesterday, Sinarith, who is also a member of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party’s central committee, called on police officers to be vigilant against NGOs and unions he said were opposing the government and laying the seeds in communities to bring about a revolution.
