“I saw police pushing a child, but when I tried to save the child during a clash, police pushed me to the ground and kicked me.”
At least 30 demonstrators from the embattled Borei Keila neighborhood of Phnom Penh were put onto buses and moved away from City Hall, where they had been protesting a forced eviction.

“I saw police pushing a child, but when I tried to save the child during a clash, police pushed me to the ground and kicked me.”
At least 30 demonstrators from the embattled Borei Keila neighborhood of Phnom Penh were put onto buses and moved away from City Hall, where they had been protesting a forced eviction.
Police moved the demonstrators to the Prey Speu “rehabilitation center,” in Dangkao district, where they are being held.
The residents of Borei Keila have been embroiled in the latest in a series of violent forced evictions that have led to demonstrations, but this is the first instance where police have detained protestors en masse.
Around 100 demonstrators had gathered in front of the city building to demand that authorities release eight residents arrested in clashes with police last week during a forced eviction of the neighborhood, which is slated for development.

The picture shows the fight of 2 parties, but only one, we can blame, is the word democracy.
