Khmer Krom: Cambodian Authorities Forbid Public Forum During Commemoration
The Cambodian authorities have refused to grant permission to hold a public forum to commemorate the 65th anniversary of France recognising the Kampuchea Krom provinces as part of Vietnam. Minorities in Cambodia face persecution, and the government does not adequately support them. A ceremony at the Samaki Rainsey pagoda will take play to commemorate the anniversary.
