PHNOM PENH - CAMBODIA is making way for 'freedom parks' across the country for people to hold demonstrations, a move local activists fear could limit rights of expression, the government said on Monday.
'All provinces and cities are preparing locations for the freedom parks,' interior ministry spokesman Khieu Sopheak told AFP, adding that local authorities nationwide had been informed about the move.
He said the planned parks, which would provide 'safety and allow people to express their opinions freely' from 6am to 6pm (5am to 5pm Singapore time), were required according to a controversial law passed last year.
