A protest allegedly turned violent outside Kampong Speu provincial court yesterday after security guards confronted about 1,000 garment workers, who were demanding the release of an arrested union representative.
Free Trade Union representative Sun Pisey was arrested last Friday after allegedly scarring fellow Sang Vo garment factory employee Soem Voleak during a scuffle.
Sang Vo workers, who protested outside the court for a second day yesterday, said Sun Pisey was advocating the benefits of joining the union when Soem Voleak attacked him and was arrested because of his union affiliations.
Protestor Man Thavy claimed yesterday that security guards from Sang Vo hit her across the head with sticks as they confronted demonstrators. “I lodged a complaint to ... [the] district police chief to hunt for justice,” she said.
Meng Sokha, chief of administration at Sang Vo, denied yesterday that company security guards had interfered with the protest. “The factory does not fine, punish or remove union representatives from the factory’s [books],” he said.
Mich Sophorn, chief of the crimes department at the district police, said yesterday that he would investigate the allegations.
FTU president Chea Mony yesterday condemned the alleged violence and requested that the government take action against the factory.
Provincial chief prosecutor Khut Sopheang could not be reached for comment by The Post yesterday.

Mr Sam Rainsy must do as you said OK. Don’t you dare to bargain with PM Hun Sen like 2005 again?
May be you can’t be Prime Minister of Cambodia because of unfair election as 5-6 million Vietnamese votes for Hun Sen and Hun Sen add up his cheating skill in every election but you can be a great Khmer Hero by suing PM Hun Sen about the facts that he has done to Cambodia and Cambodian people so far.
If you Can’t be Prime Miniter due unfair election all the times but Mr Sam Rainsy, you can gives a great stain to PM Hun Sen and CPP Vietnam slave about their crimes against Cambodian people since 1970 until today.
Fucken King, he is a slave of vietnam'slave. He sells out all Cambodian people life as chicken or pigs. He is only care about his king size condom lifesyle. He is not difference from Prince Ranaridth PhD of Law from France that betray all his supporters that died for his sake. Prince Ranaridth is a prince of lie and betray in the world history pages.
Unlike King or queen of England that they are not even afraid of Germany Hitler bombs. The queen was stay with her people during World War 2. The queen dare to died to protect her nation spirit and people believe. All England princes and princess are willing to sacrify their life for their country and people.
What is the king of Cambodia has done so far ? The Ex king was revenge without caring of how many khmer people died and he joined KHMER Rough and provoke khmer to believe in him. After, 3 millions of Cambodian people have died of his course. He started blame games, shift blame games, He is the the king and the leader who has no responsible for his action. He arn't khmer young generation role model in leadership at all.
