geovalin Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Banteay Meanchey provincial governor Um Reatrey on Monday denied the Cambodian Informal Economic Workers Association’s request to protest at the Poipet border with Thailand to demand its reopening. CIEWA chief, Din Puthy, sent a letter to the Banteay Meanchey governor to ask for the right to stage a protest from June 1 to June 7, involving about 1,500 protesters and 100 carts at the Poipet-Khlong Luk border Mr Reatrey replied the provincial administration would not allow the association to stage the protest because mass gatherings are not allowed under current COVID-19 containment measures. Mr Reatrey said the provincial authorities asked Thailand if they could allow 20 Cambodian vendors to cross into Thailand to allow them access to the markets where they could sell their produce. According to Mr Reatrey, Thailand denied the request. Mr Puthy, however, said his association had asked all Cambodian vendors be allowed to cross the border to sell their goods in Thailand, beginning June 1. He added that if Thailand does not open its border, the association has asked the provincial authority to close the border to Thai trucks and not allow them into Cambodia. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50727251/border-protests-denied-despite-financial-implications-for-vendors/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
