Publication : Press Release
According to a public announcement by the Civil Society Committee (the “Committee”) of ASEAN Civil Society Conference/ASEAN People’s Forum 2012 (“ACSC/APF”), made on 12 November 2012, the Committee is deeply concerned about the recent activities of the Cambodian authorities in repeatedly disturbing the organization of the APF in Phnom Penh. The ACSC/APF 2012 Committee plans to conduct this year’s APF from 14 to 16 November, however, the venues that the Committee booked for the event have been canceled by the owners on two occasions due to pressure from the Cambodian authorities. The Committee has been exploring other potential venues to host the event, however members are deeply concerned and frustrated at the continued disruption by the authorities, which is a repeat of events in March 2012 when APF workshops were similarly disrupted.
