A crowd-control unit of the capital’s police force yesterday released footage of a live-fire practice exercise intended to bolster its ability to “protect the legitimate government”, a display that comes less than a year before a hotly anticipated national election and follows months of government threats directed at would-be protesters.

 

In a demonstration analysts described as worrying, and which an opposition lawmaker called threatening, officers from the Phnom Penh Municipal Police’s Intervention Unit conducted firing drills at a police base in Por Sen Chey, which were captured in photos and a video published by government-aligned outlet Fresh News.

 

In the clip, half a dozen policemen begin by firing AK-47s in the prone position at targets some 100 metres away, before walking downrange in formation with their sights trained and dropping to one knee to fire again.
