PHNOM
PENH, Cambodia (AP)
— Security forces and opposition
protesters have clashed at an opposition rally in Cambodia’s capital, leaving
about 40 people injured.
City
Hall official Khun Sreng said most of the injured were from the security
forces. Civilian security auxiliaries are often employed by the government to
break up protests.
Police
arrested three lawmakers from the opposition party who led the protest to
demand that Phnom Penh’s Freedom Park be reopened to the public.
City
authorities imposed a ban on public demonstrations in January and closed
Freedom Park, which is now surrounded by razor wire, after a spasm of political
violence.
The
opposition claims that last year’s general election was rigged and the Cambodia
National Rescue Party robbed of victory. Its lawmakers have boycotted their
seats in the National Assembly.
