PHNOM PENH (Cambodia Herald) - Police clashed with
Mam Sonando supporters Tuesday after blocking the road in front of Phnom
Penh Municipal Court ahead of a hearing for the Beehive Radio director.
Sources said the clashes occurred at the Kong Hing intersection about 500 meters from the court.
Journalists were barred from the court along with hundreds of Mam Sonando's supporters including lawmakers.
Supporters
held lotuses and wore white shirts with pictures of bees. Another 100
protestors from two property development sites gathered nearby.
The
72-year-old activist, who is also director of the Democrats
Association, was arrested in July on charges of fomenting a secession in
Kratie province.
Defense lawyer Sok Sam Eoun said Mam Sonando faced up to 30 years in prison if found guilty.

Where is justice? Are you Cpp's govt works for people or against people? People have the right to attent the hearing in Democracy society.Stop abusing power your regime are running by thugs.
He is not guilty on all count that you've accused him. He is innocent
He has done NOTHING, but exercising his rights as a human being that is crying for pure freedom of expression and liberty. CPP should be on trial for selling lands to Vietnam or "diapers".
This is dictatorship and communist!
