Phnom Penh - Cambodian union leader Chea Mony Monday called for police to arrest the people responsible for the shooting murder of one of his men on the weekend, saying the dead man's family has also been attacked.
Two unidentified assailants on a motorcycle shot and killed Free Trade Union (FTU) leader at the Suntex Garment Factory, Hy Vuthy, 36, three times as he drove home Saturday, according to police and eyewitness accounts.
Local media quoted police as saying robbery was not a motive as his motorbike was left at the scene.
Vuthy's murder was the third of an FTU representative since the 2004 shooting of Mony's brother Chea Vichea, then-FTU president. Four months later FTU representative at another local garment factory, Ros Sovannareth, was also shot and killed.
'Vuthy had received threats that if he did not resign he would be killed, but he had not resigned at the time of his death,' Mony said.
'At the same time as he was being murdered, unknown assailants attacked his family's home with rocks. I call on police to fully investigate these crimes,' he added. 'This killing is a direct attempt to scare our members.'
Two men were jailed over Vichea's murder, but rights groups have dismissed their convictions as a sham and claim the real killers are still at large. No one has ever been arrested in connection with Sovannareth's murder.
This marks the third killing of FTU officials since the union's president Chea Vichea was shot dead in January 2004.
A group calling itself the Cambodian Watchdog Council International (CWCI) released a statement Monday condemning the murder and also calling on police to launch a thorough investigation.
The FTU, seen as linked to the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, is the most powerful union in the garment factory sector and is involved in more strikes and labour disputes than any other union in the country.
Cambodia is still in the process of setting up an Arbitration Court where disputes can be settled through neutral and transparent mediation, a process expected to be completed by the end of this year.
