Beating of SRP procession participants in O'Russei

Friday, March 23, 2007

Phnom Penh - KI-Media has recently learned that SRP supporters participating in an election campaign procession in O’Russei commune, Phnom Penh city, were beaten by some 30 security guards from the O’Russei market. The beating took place at 8:20 PM on Friday, March 23, 2007. SRP received the authorization to hold the procession until 10:00 PM.

Three SRP supporters fled the scene and arrived later at the SRP headquarters, two of them are wounded by the beating. It is not yet known how many more procession participants are being wounded, or how serious their injuries are.

The procession participants claim that they have not done anything illegal, and that the authorization the SRP received allows them to proceed with the procession until 10:00 PM, but that they were attacked at 8:20 PM.

Some of the participants claim that this is the usual trick used by the authority to attack the procession on a Friday evening, when no reporters, human rights workers, or election observers are present.

The CPP is always use violence, because all the leaders are evil men.

They can do everything what they want.

Please remember this:
The more you sue violence, the more you get suffer.
