Flash Info | Doun Penh District Guards Block Petitioners At French Embassy

11 November 2026

Local district security guards attempted to prevent civil society members, unionists and activists from carrying placards calling for the release of jailed human rights defenders as they attempted to submit a petition to the French Embassy in Phnom Penh.

The group of 70 people were confronted by around 30 district security guards outside the French Embassy on Wednesday morning. Some of the petitioners were holding banners calling for the release of activists from Mother Nature Cambodia, the Khmer Student Intelligent League Association, and for a resolution to the labour dispute involving the Labor Rights Supported Union of Khmer Employees of NagaWorld. District security guards first prevented people from raising the banners, and snatched and ripped a few of them. The petitioners later agreed to lower their placards but continued their peaceful protest outside the embassy.
