City Hall will not allow a statue of slain political analyst Kem Ley to be built anywhere in Phnom Penh, a spokesman said yesterday, after a request for such a statue at Phnom Penh’s Freedom Park was rejected by authorities.

 

Phnom Penh municipality spokesman Mean Chanyada said Freedom Park was built for people to express their opinions, and the municipality would not allow statues for individuals, save for the monuments that already exist to late King Father Norodom Sihanouk, former Buddhist patriarch Choun Nath and Khmer poet Krom Ngoy.

 

“There will be no alternative solution for a location for Kem Ley’s statue – it’s a total ‘no’, not any place in Phnom Penh,” Chanyada said. “We don’t considerer whether it is a loss or a gain; we just do it based on the principle.”
