A statue of the late political analyst Kem Ley was paraded from Wat Chas pagoda in the capital’s Chroy Changvar district yesterday to his hometown in Noy Bo village in Takeo province with about 50,000 people joining the procession. The 100-day funeral ceremony for Mr. Ley started on Friday at Wat Chas pagoda and wraps up today in Takeo province’s Tram Kak district.
 

At 7am yesterday, the funeral ceremony’s organizing committee paraded the 1.7-meter brass statue to Mr. Ley’s hometown, arriving at about 2pm. There will be a traditional ceremony today, the final day. Sao Kosal, a member of the organizing committee, estimated that about 50,000 people joined in the procession of Mr. Ley’s statue, not including spectators along the route and police facilitating traffic.
 

“People still support and noticeably participate, even though it is a 100-day ceremony,” he said. “On the first day, people participate less, but on the second and third days, people participate more and more. It shows that people dislike injustice and neglect of authorities to arrest the real killer and seek justice properly.”
