Seven women and a teenage boy were briefly detained and three cameras taken from rights workers when protesters clashed with police in a Phnom Penh demonstration Monday morning.
Six of the women and the boy were released late Monday after they promised they would not join future demonstrations.
The remaining protester, Mao Soly, is scheduled to appear in Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Tuesday.
Phnom Penh Municipal Police sought to bar a demonstration of more than 100 upset residents in Dangkor district, who say they are victims of a government land grab and were planning to demonstrate in front of the home of Prime Minister Hun Sen.
