"I will not applaud this freedom park because it is a signal that Cambodia is limiting... the people's freedom": Rong Chhun

PHNOM PENH - CAMBODIA unveiled its first designated protest site in the capital on Thursday, in the face of rights groups' fears that Democracy Square is designed to keep dissenters isolated and out of sight.

'We are furthering democracy in Cambodia,' Phnom Penh governor Kep Chuktema said at the opening ceremony of the site, which is nicknamed Freedom Park and modelled on international examples such as Speakers' Corner in London.

He appealed to would-be protesters to freely voice their concerns at the 60 by 200 metre open space near the US embassy and the capital's famed Wat Phnom temple, which historically marks the centre of the city.

But rights activists fear the new square will keep protesters off the streets and away from government offices and legislative buildings - traditionally the focus of rallies.

'I will not applaud this freedom park because it is a signal that Cambodia is limiting... the people's freedom,' said Rong Chhun, president of the Cambodian Confederation of Unions.

While protesters can still apply for a permit to demonstrate in other parts of the capital, Rong Chhun fears authorities would use the park as an excuse to withhold permission.

CPP and HS got so scared that they had to build a PARK. HS had come to his end of his rope. we dont see SR doing such thing, we dont' see other Khmer creating any monster like CPP.

It is not the park, it is the people's voices is louder then the park. It dose not matter what park or how much accommodation HS wants to max its capacity. Even for 10 people it will not matter.

It is nothing and it a kids play ground for CPP and HS.

We laughing so hard that Freedom Park build by HS...so ironic.

HS is showing his true color for the world to see, all we have to do is laugh and laugh because HS is creating something really FUNNY.

HS will be the one who protest under that tents... he is creating a monster at heart.

We strongly believe HS is toppling his own grace.

It is a bad omen. Cambodia is a sacred land, once we believe doing bad deed will receive bad deed... it is funeral home for HS and his family.

One for his wife (bunrunny) and one for him(Hun sen).

It is a jail for Hunsen and his bad witch wife....

SRP Senator Kong Korm, SRP MP Son Chhay and SRP MP Mu Sochua... stand up and ask SRP members who they really want to see as a leader for SRP... Don't be manipulated by Sam Rainsy...

If SRP wants democracy, SRP should vote for their leader!

Yo! bloggers..Sen's name on everything - It remind me when I walk my dog...he want to mark his plot or his taritory...he always go back to pie at the same places. Hun is very careful about his taritory. He afraid that somebody might take it...so the Sen would do the same as my dog - he too marks everything under his name. What a shame (we a dog rule us)..

Khmer people, do you know that you are just a borrower of Hun's property or his taritory...Khmer people you better waik up...that why you can see the rampan land graping all over the country, especially in Phom Penh!

Waik up Khmer people, Waik up - I said...you own nothing under Hun Regime...he can take your property any time...you are live under borrowing land from the Hun's regim...

Khmer people...you have the power in your hands - your VOTE...vote Hun's regime OUT,OUT...show Hun Sen your true power of democracy...non-violence...but using the weapon of your vote...Go Vote in 2013...show your power...We all Khmer - we want a better condition for our children and our children's children...Hun's regime will not give your children this opportunity!...Fight back with your voting weapon...individual come together will build a critical mass of the same vote (kick Sen out of his office)...just like the makong river build the powerful flow of it water..nothing can stand in front the strenght of the Mekong river...Khmer people form yorself as a Mekong river...form your vote - let your reach a critical to vote Hun's regime out! out you go Sen!..You don't deserve to serve Khmer people..

I invite KI-medai, Khmeryoueng,Khmerization, and all media to please help Sam rainsy, by break him and rebuild him back. We clearly see Sam rainsy, he is not well communicator, and he has no self discipline, and he is disrespect, and he is a not truth-worthy man, he have no co operate, he lack leadership skill, he is lazy and don't have clear vision for us. all these character will never gain any support from voter.
We can clearly see his provocative will lead to more violent and division Khmer society, please stop him and break him from the bottom heart then rebuild him. I agreed people power but should be happen in Kampuchea krom or in Sorin, let Cambodia strong first otherwise it very dangerous for all of us.
I promise if he keep doing it he will bring Khmer down to war it take 15 years to rebuild, and SRP will never progress.
Best Regards.
