The Cambodia National Rescue Party is asking for hundreds of supporters and party officials to rally outside its headquarters on Friday, the morning of acting party president Kem Sokha’s trial for refusing to appear for previous summonses.

 

In a letter sent to City Hall on September 5, president of the party’s executive committee Morn Phalla informed City Governor Pa Socheatvong that supporters and party members, including parliamentarians and provincial officials, will congregate at the party’s office on National Road 2.

 

The two sides are scheduled to discuss the proposed gathering today, with Phnom Penh Deputy Dovernor Khoung Sreng saying authorities would not block the rally, though there could be restrictions on the number of supporters permitted.
