Publication : Press Release

On Monday morning, at least three photographers covering the Beehive Radio protest outside the Ministry of Information were struck by military police deployed during the demonstration. In at least one case, a Cambodian photojournalist vocally identified himself as a journalist to the officer, and all three were wearing their press cards. All were hit with batons. The OPCC condemns the unnecessary and unacceptable violence by state security forces, semi-official district and municipal guards, as well as plain-clothes attackers.
