Cambodian authorities today banned all public gatherings and summoned two opposition leaders of police questing, in what is seen as a response to months of escalating public dissent to the rule of Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The clampdown included clearing protesters from public spaces after a clash between protesting garment workers and police, last week, left four people dead.
Opposition leaders have been calling for the Hun Sen to step down after he retained power in summer elections which international observers found to be riddled by irregularities .
One of the opposition leaders summoned for questioning, Sam Rainsy, condemned government actions, accusing the leadership of upholding a “façade of democracy.”
