For two weeks, crowds of mourners streamed into a Buddhist pagoda in Ph**m Penh's east, clutching lotus flowers and incense.

They had come to pay their respects to Kem Ley, a popular Cambodian political analyst who was gunned down as he bought his morning coffee on July 10.

Clad in white, funeralgoers kneeled to pray in front of a small shrine before circling around the glass casket that contained his body. It was at this point that many reached for their smartphones.
