Notice for
Protest Against Sok An

In the event that Sok An shows up his face at the ribbon cutting to inaugurate Cambodia Town and participates in the Cambodian New Year Parade which will take place on 06 April 2008, I have the honor to inform our beloved compatriots that, on Monday 31 March 2008, the Long Beach Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine had already issued us an authorization to hold our protest.

There will be two locations where the protestors can gather:

1. Along the sidewalk in front of the Monorom Restaurant, and
2. At the corner of Walnut Street and Anaheim Street where there is an empty lot.

Paper banners not attached to any pole which could be used as a weapon are allowed, however, loud speakers, weapons (including eggs, tomatoes, rocks), alcoholic beverages, etc… are not allowed. Similarly the use of racist and sexist language is prohibited. The protest will be non-violent.

To the contrary, if Sok An is not present during this occasion, our compatriots will have the opportunity to enjoy themselves during the ribbon cutting ceremony inaugurating Cambodia Town or during the Cambodian New Year Parade.

Thank you,

Ly Diep
31 March 2008
