Illegal Detention of Workers in Phnom Penh- Day Two

March 15, 2011

The following day we returned with Srun Channa’s mother in order to negotiate her release. It was only with the assistance of the city prosecutor, that on March 11th, Channa was released.

Negotiations with criminal police and prosecutor

Despite our requests, no officials from the Labour of Ministry were present over the two days we visited. We can conclude that the Labour Ministry leaves it up to the companies to draw guidelines and that inspections of the premises and the application of the laws are very weak and that negligence from the part of the government led to the deaths and injuries of the women.

With the collaboration of the Community Legal Education Center (CLEC), and our local networks, we investigated the cases of the four trainees who were supposed to have been released by the company. They were in fact detained inside the company when we visited.

I will post our findings soon! Please follow along and share your thoughts. Have you heard of similar cases like T&P that detain their employees illegally?

Hun Sen can't work with Ms. Mu by himself unless Hun Sen is allowed by his Master Viet/Youn Hanoi (who orders Hun Sen what to do in Cambodian). We Khmer people need to stand up together to protest against Viet/Youn Hanoi who orders Hun Sen to hurt Khmer people and destroy natural resources in Cambodia and who create the secret Viet/Youn agents in Cambodia to destroy and murder Khmer people until today. Also, Khmer people stand up together to take down Hun Sen and his Viet/Youn evil wife and his family members. Please tell the world that Viet/Youn Hanoi and secret Viet agents have been behind all the killing and grenade in 1997, cheating the election (to make Hun Sen win the election) because of 5 millions illegal Vietnamese people in Cambodia, more they (Viet/Youn) have done to damage the image of Cambodia and Khmer people in the world. Please make your voices heard around the world.
