On May 1, at least three journalists were roughed up by security forces near Phnom Penh’s Freedom Park, a location for rallies by the opposition. Daniel Quinlan, video journalist for the Phnom Penh Post, reported: "I’d just recorded the municipal security guards beating a guy on a motorbike and went back to the barricades to record them returning to Freedom Park. “Suddenly they started yelling and two of them started moving towards me swinging their batons. An older man not in uniform then started hitting my legs with what appears to be a piece of wood covered in newspaper. One of the blows connected just below my kneecap causing bruising." Just before that happened, another Cambodian journalist was beaten by police who had clearly pointed her out as a target.
