Cambodia: Unionized teachers to protest at Freedom Park in Phnom Penh 08:00 Dec. 30

Event

The Cambodian Independent Teachers Association (CITA) plans to protest at Freedom Park, Phnom Penh, from 08:00 Dec. 30. The group is calling for the release of imprisoned political and social activists. Organizers said at least 100 people will participate in the event. The gathering may be called off at short notice as authorities have not granted permission.

Security deployment is likely in and around the protest site. Heightened security presence may cause localized transport disruptions. Minor skirmishes are possible if police attempt to prevent or disperse the gathering.

Advice

Avoid the protest as a precaution. Allow additional travel time in the affected area until the demonstration ends. Heed all security and traffic advisories.
