The mother of a Cambodian worker who died mysteriously while working in Thailand has asked the Cambodian government to intervene on her behalf to seek compensation for the death of her son.
Mrs. Pa Sophea, mother of Min Sitha Saravuth, the dead worker, said in a press conference on 11th March that her 26 year-old son was recruited by a job agency in Phnom Penh, Human Power, to work legally in a glove factory in Thailand since 2006. On 20th December 2008, she received the news that her son had died from a fall off the ship. She claimed that the body of her son was cremated immediately without any investigation into the causes of his death.
She is appealing to the Cambodian government to intervene in helping her to seek compensation for her son’s death.
Mr. Ya Navuth, president of an NGO, CARAM Cambodia, also appeals to the Thai embassy and the Cambodian government to help her seek compensation because the victim had been recruited to work in Thailand legally by the employment agency, Human Power.
He said that the company where Mrs. Pa Sophea's son had worked before the accident that killed him should compensate her family and pay all his salaries for the 23 months duration that he had worked for the company.
Mr. Ya Navuth added that, this is not the first death of a Cambodian worker in Thai factories. Many Cambodian workers continue to die in Thai factories every year without any investigations for the causes of their deaths.
CARAM Cambodia estimated that, currently, there are about 80,000 Cambodians working legally and illegally in Thailand.

Ah Khmer Kandal will never be secure in Thailand so long they invaded Khmer Leu's lands and hijacked their valuable temples.
Oh, my poor Khmers! You are the victims in everywhere you go and live, even in your own country; you are so unfotunate that you have a leader who is blind, ignorant, and arrogant.

Thai like to show the world, are nice & gentle people. Behind the friendly face, Thai were always very dangerous.
Use the word "Khmer Loeu", only from a Thai or Siam, but not from a Khmer descent.
Siem and youn are the same. Khmer oi, please stand up for rights and freedom!!!

7:48 PM, you are a piece of dog shit. Realize that, you scum.
gov't and human rights organizations should look into this case seriously as it goes to show the human abuse many khmer workers experienced in thailand. this could become a test for diplomatic cooperation between cambodia and cambodia as well. this is human life we're talking about, not some kind of animal! it's about justice for the khmer workers, who legally sent to work in thailand and should be investigated and demand proper compensation and so on! thank you.
This is a fucken massacre on Khmer civilians! The Siem like to pick an easy target which is mainly the helpless Khmer civilian! What did the United Nations said about killing innocence civilians who are not enemy combatant?
It is time to build demilitarize zone (DMZ) between the Siem and the Khmer!
This is a gross human right abuse. human rights organisation and Khmer government must strongly protest this inhuman treatments of Khmers by the Thais.
7:48 pm, u people are fucking stupid asswipe son of a bitch ass losers.
TO ALL KHMERS!!!
THE BASTARD SIAMS ARE WELL TRAINED TO ACT AS FRIENDLY AND SMILINGLY TO FOREIGN TOURISTS BY THEIR FUCKING ROYAL FAMILY, BUT ALWAYS TRANSPLANT HATRED IDEAS ON KHMERS EVER. THEY ARE FULL OF BUMB TRICKS. THEY ARE BORN TO BE BARBARIANS NOT HUMAN. THEY ARE THE FAMOUS LAND GRABBING THIEVES IN THE REGIONS THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF.
FOR CAMBODIAN GOVT!! DON'T EVER BE WEAK AND COWARD WITH THAIS BUT STRONG AND BRAVE WITH INNOCENT AND POOR CAMBODIANS! YOU ARE THEIR FATHERS AND MOTHERS, BUT YOUR ACTS ARE AGAINST THEIR WILLS. HELP KHMER OR KHMER WILL CURSE YOU AND YOUR WHOLE GOVERNMENT WILL BE TOPPLED

We should export our Khmer labor to help build other ASEAN countries rather than to Thailand which is our ennemy. Why is it too difficult for Hun Xen to understand that Thailand is not our friend.

អ្នកខ្លះនៅក្នុងមតិបញ្ចេញយោបល់នេះពុំ
មែនជាខ្មែរទេគឺអ្នកញ៉ុះញ៉ង់ឲ្យខ្មែរបែកបាក់គ្នា
កាន់តែខ្លាំងឡើង។ដួច្នេះសូមអ្នកទាំងនោះ
កុំសង្ឃឹមថាអ្វើឲ្យខ្មែរបែកបាក់គ្នានៅក្នុង
ជុំនាន់នេះ។ខ្មែរជុំនាន់នេះមិនដួចជុំនាន់ពីដើមទេ
មួយៗចេះតែធ្វើឲ្យខ្មែរទាស់គ្នាហើយជនបរទេស
ចូលយកដីអោះដួចកាលសៀមយកយួនយកនោះទេ។ខ្មែររាល់ថ្ងៃដឹងអ្នកណាធ្វើឲ្យខ្មែរបានសុខ
ហើយអ្នកណាធ្វើមិនឲ្យខ្មែរបានសុខគឺប្រជាជន
ខ្មែរដឹងគ្រប់ពេលវេលាទាំងអស់
អ្នកដែលទម្លាប់ញ៉ុះញ៉ង់គឺរស់នៅពុំបានសុខទេ។
Thais are arrogant toward their neighbors not only toward Cambodians, but toward Burmese and Muslims (Malaysia).
Thai people are taught to be arrogant, because they believe they have a better life than their neighbors. Thai Buddhists don't practice Buddhism but they are far better than Khmer Buddhists in Cambodia.
Thais live under military dictator with King as its shield. Both King and militray using each other. Thai people are being oppressed by these tyrants.
Thai people may have a better life than Khmers, but there are million poor people who sold their daughters to be protitutes and to be servants to city people, and those city people are mostly sino-Thais.
