City Hall yesterday approved a request from Khmer Krom activists to hold a public forum on Saturday in Freedom Park.

Thach Setha, president of the Khmer Kampuchea Krom Community, said the forum would focus on the citizenship of ethnic Vietnamese Cambodians and the history of the former Kampuchea Krom provinces.

“We will [then] hold a big demonstration from the 1st to the 5th of October,” Setha said.
