Phnom Penh, 27 January 2014 – The Cambodian Human Rights and Development Association (ADHOC) strongly condemns the continued illegal and systematic crackdown on freedom of assembly in Cambodia. At least 10 people were injured, three seriously, by military police and hired thugs this morning when government critic and owner of independent Beehive Radio, Mam Sonando, attempted to demonstrate with supporters at Freedom Park and outside the Ministry of Information in Phnom Penh. January has been a bloody month for the government; at least five people have been killed and scores more injured by security forces since the governments instigated a crackdown on assemblies.
