Riot Police Block Protest Over Labor Detainees

Security forces broke up a peaceful gathering in Phnom Penh on Monday, as protesters continued to demand the release of 21 detainees arrested in violent labor protests in January. Riot police blocked some 100 protesters from reaching the Supreme Court, confiscating amplifiers and drums in a tense confrontation that left at least two women injured. (Khoun Theara, Phnom Penh)
