Prime Minister Hun Sen and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong on Friday met with British Foreign Office Minister Hugo Swire, who used a two-day visit to Cambodia to pledge more funds to the Khmer Rouge tribunal and enquire about the government’s violent and lethal response to garment and opposition party demonstrations in the capital.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Koy Kuong told reporters that in addition to promising to encourage investment in Cambodia, Mr. Swire had asked about the post-election political deadlock and the suppression of protests. He said Mr. Namhong had shown Mr. Swire the Law on Demonstrations and explained that protest-related deaths were the fault of the organizers of demonstrations, not security forces who used live ammunition and killed them.
