Dozens of Khmer-Americans have gathered in front of the Thai Embassy in the United-States on Monday 11th of August.
Yesterday, demonstrators from the Cambodian community came together in front of the Thai embassy in Washington D.C. in order to protest against Bangkok’s stance concerning the temple of Preah Vihear.
The Angkor Association which organised the demonstration stated having mobilised “about 70 people”, according to its president, Channa Pak.
“We have gathered four monks, the president of the Cambodian Buddhist Society of Maryland, the president of the Cambodian-American Association for Human Rights and Democracy, three former presidents of the Angkor Association and even a man who joined the demonstration by taxi during his lunch break”, told Channa Pak to the “Cambodge Soir Hebdo”.
The organisers were protesting against “the violation of the Unesco agreement by Thailand” and wanted to avoid “war in Cambodia”.
