In response to the information given on 4 January 2008 by SRP Banteay Meanchey Yi Saray about a group of 200 members of the SRP Youth Movement volunteering to pick-up trash in Sisophon City on 7 January, Sisophon District Governor Om Reatrei gives instruction to police and military police forces to prevent this activity from taking place on the grounds that SRP Banteay Meanchey had not requested his authorization.

Article 35 of Cambodia’s Constitution states that “Cambodian citizens of both sexes have the right to actively participate in the political, economic, social and cultural life of the country” and does not mention any prior authorization.
