A group of Cambodian civil societies have planned to stage a peaceful protest and present a petition to the Thai PM during his visit to Cambodia this Friday, but the Chief of Phnom Penh Police, Mr. Touch Naroth, warned such an action would constitute a social disorder if their action was not approved by the authority, reports Khmer Sthapana.

Mr, Rong Chhun (pictured), president of the Cambodian Independent Teachers Association, has indicated that his group has planned to stage a peaceful protest and present a petition to the Thai PM, Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva, to request Thailand to stop military occupation of Cambodian territories.

Minister of Information Khieu Kanharith and Mr. Koy Kuong, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, were not available for comments, but Mr. Touch Naroth said that the Thai PM is on an official visit and that the Cambodian authority will not allow any action that would embarrass our guest as well as ruining the reputation of the Cambodian government.

Mr. Touch Naroth said that any action that disrupts the Thai PM's visit or cause social disorders will be dealt with by the laws.

The Thai PM is scheduled to arrive in Cambodia on Friday for a two day visit. According to some Cambodian media reports, the agenda for the meeting between Prime Minister Hun Sen and Mr. Abhisit have not been worked out yet. But during the visit, the Thai PM is planning to hand over some pieces of stolen artefacts to Cambodia as well as having an audience with King Sihamoni.
