PHNOM PENH, Sep 1 – The Cambodian government on Sunday warned foreigners to stay away from opposition protests against a hotly disputed election as thousands of riot police practised crowd control in the capital.
Authorities and security forces would “avoid potential clashes at all costs” said the government in a statement released ahead of expected September 7 mass opposition protests against the poll results.
“All foreigners living in the Kingdom of Cambodia should keep a reasonable distance from all protests related to the election,” the statement said.
Thousands of Cambodian police officers, armed with batons and shields, were seen learning protest control tactics early Sunday in a park in Phnom Penh.
Security forces were deployed around the capital in the aftermath of the July 28 poll, in a move the opposition has decried as intimidation.
Preliminary official results for the July 28 poll, released in August, saw incumbent strongman Hun Sen’s long-ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) retain power.
But the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) has rejected the tally, demanding an independent probe into its claims that the election was tarnished by massive vote-rigging.
The final results are expected to be announced by September 8.
The government statement called on Cambodians to remain calm and urged those joining the protest “not to violate or infringe the rights, freedom and dignity of other people”.
The opposition also issued a statement Sunday telling protesters not to carry knives, axes, rocks or sticks to the demonstration, adding that it would hold two rehearsals ahead of the actual demonstration.
The National Election Committee (NEC) has said Hun Sen’s CPP had won the popular vote, taking 3.2 million votes to the opposition’s 2.9 million although it is yet to reveal the share of parliamentary seats.
The Constitutional Council, the country’s top arbiter, is currently resolving complaints from the opposition.
Hun Sen who has been in power for 28 years has vowed to establish a government under his leadership despite the opposition’s allegations.
The premier, 61, a former Khmer Rouge cadre who defected from the murderous regime, has vowed to rule until he is 74.

Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By “any patriot Khmers”
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 30,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 30,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 30,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 30,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
all Cambodian Heroes including Mr Sam Rain Sy, Kem Sokha must be careful with HUN SEN agents or Vietcong agents, they always try to do harmful act with them
