as a monk you need to ask, but not protest
The Buddha taught compassion and justice, so when there is no compassion and an injustice, we, including the monks, can't stand by and do nothing and let another human being suffer. What Ven. Luon Sovath did was right according to the Buddha's teaching. He did not commit any crimes or perpetrate any violence, he was just there to give moral supports to the victims of injustice due to forced evictions.
Is there a rule or rules in the monk-hood against "protest"?
