Hun Xen's Democrazy Square (aka Screw Freedom Park)


Phnom Penh Governor Kep Chuktema, right, greets well-wishers as he arrives for the inauguration ceremony of Democracy Square in downtown Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Thursday, Nov. 4, 2010. The Cambodian government, widely criticized for quashing dissent, opened the small park to accommodate demonstrators. But opponents said the park's isolated location would render any demonstration useless. Officials say that Democracy Square, more commonly known as Freedom Park, would facilitate full security for protesters and prevent general public disorder.
