A
CAMBODIAN woman had a miscarriage after she and another pregnant
protester were beaten by police during a crackdown on a land rally.
The
33-year-old woman, who was 10 weeks’ pregnant, miscarried after being
hit during a “heavy crackdown”, the Cambodian Human Rights and
Development Association (ADHOC) said in a statement.
She was among around 100 people who blocked the road outside a municipal building in central Phnom Penh, in the second protest of its kind to be broken up with violence.
The protesters from Phnom Penh’s lakeside area are demanding more compensation or the return of land given by the government to a Chinese company for a commercial development.
Police
initially tried to drag the protesters from the road but they resisted,
prompting officers to beat them, an eyewitness said on condition of
anonymity.
The woman was rushed to the hospital where the miscarriage was confirmed.
Phnom Penh’s police chief declined to comment about the alleged incident.
What a pity! What do you think about this?
