Phnom Penh - Cambodia's main opposition party has promised to screen a documentary that suggests official involvement in the 2004 killing of a prominent trade union leader, a party spokesman said Wednesday.
Yim Sovann, the spokesman for the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP), said the daylight shooting of union leader Chea Vichea had not been investigated properly by the authorities.
On Saturday, police prevented a handful of union activists from showing the documentary in Phnom Penh after May Day rallies. Police said permission had not been give to screen the film.
Yim Sovann told the German Press Agency dpa that the SRP had a duty to show the documentary despite objections from the ruling party, and would fix a date for the screening in due course.
"Chea Vichea was a Cambodian citizen who was assassinated, and so far there has been no result from the Ministry of Interior's investigation," he said. "We want to know the true story."
