Around 20 Cambodians gathered outside the UN offices in New York on Saturday, to demonstrate against Prime Minsiter Hun Sen ahead of meetings with US and Asean officials.

They carried placards reading, “Hun Sen must respect human rights;” “Hun Sen must stop illegal evictions in Cambodia;” “Hun Sen must stop using the court to silence opposition voices;” and “Hun Sen is a tyrant, mafia, a traitor.”

Protesters said they were concerned over Cambodia's human rights record and inability to solve longstanding border disputes with its neighbors. And the demonstration came as Hun Sen was to meet US leaders, including President Barack Obama, and Asean officials, including sideline talks with Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva over border issues.

Hope Hun Sen will stop but I highly doubt that will happen.

A self-centered greed like Hun Sen will do whatever it takes to silent ANYONE that is against his GREEDS. And that's includes Assassinations, Fines, and Jails ALL Citizens that speak of his “BAD TRUTHS” against him…… HUN SEN MUST FALL for the goodness of all Khmers, NOT just the Riches.
