The meeting to express the anti-Thai aggression on Cambodian lands planned for 15 July cannot take place because the Phnom Penh authority prevented it. According the meeting plan, the demonstration would take place in front of the old National Assembly on 15 July, the first anniversary of Thailand invasion of Wat Keo Sekha Kiri Svarak Pagoda. However, this demonstration was aborted because the Cambodian authority prevented it from taking place. Since early morning, roads starting from the royal palace to the Wat Botum Pagoda were closed. Not only that, a large number of police officers were stationed in front of the former National Assembly building and in the public park in front of Wat Botum. The meeting plan to oppose the Thai aggression was organized by Rong Chhun, President of the Cambodia Independent Teachers’ Association (CITA) and of the Cambodian Confederation of Unions (CCU).
