Cambodians warned against ‘Bangladesh-inspired’ protests

Hun Sen sees further arrests for 'plotting to overthrow' his son’s government.

Former Cambodian prime minister, Hun Sen, has warned Cambodians to avoid ‘Bangladesh-inspired’ protests led by an overseas group known as Unity for the Nation saying members had been identified while accusing them of plotting to oust his son’s government.

In a slew of statements released late Aug. 12, Hun Sen told the group to immediately “cease their actions and withdraw” to avoid prosecution after protests were staged in South Korea and Australia last weekend asking the government to withdraw from the CLV-DTA initiative.

The government-friendly Phnom Penh Post reported Khmer activists in both countries also called for action similar to recent demonstrations in Bangladesh, where mass protests led to the downfall of long-serving prime minister Sheikh Hasina and her government.
