The security forces will protect demonstrators if their demonstrations get permission from the government or the interior ministry, he said.
The exercise came after 18 trade unions and associations of the opposite side announced to hold a public forum at the Freedom Park in Phnom Penh on March 8 though the City Hall refused to give them permission.
