Friday’s rally was the fifth such protest organized by family members of the 17 CNRP activists who have been jailed at Prey Sar Prison on charges of “incitement to commit a felony”

As in previous protests, police officers descended on the scene and confiscated or destroyed their banners, ordering the crowd to disperse.
