Cambodia - Crackdown by Hun Sen

(7 Sep 1998) T/I: 11:15:32
Tension heightened in the Cambodian city of Phnom Penh Monday (7/9) after Premier Hun Sen ordered the arrest of opposition leader, Sam Rainsy, accusing him of orchestrating a grenade attack on Hun Sen's residence in the city. He also said Prince Norodom Ranariddh, whom he deposed as co-prime minister in a bloody coup last year, could also be arrested. Both Rainsy and Ranariddh have been orchestrating anti-Hun Sen protests over the last three weeks, and a sit-in in so-called Democracy Square. Bursts of heavy gunfire have also been reported near Democracy Square where demonstrators have been given until midnight Monday to disperse. Their sit-in has been in protest at alleged fraud in the July 26 election which Hun Sen won.
