15 November 2013 – Recent clashes in Cambodia, in which police were seen beating individuals with truncheons and shooting live ammunition and rubber bullets from close range, must be urgently investigated to ensure full accountability for the use of excessive force, the United Nations human rights office said today.
Speaking to reporters in Geneva, Rupert Colville, spokesperson for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), voiced serious concern about the violent clashes which took place in the Stung Meanchey district of the capital, Phnom Penh, on 12 November.
The clashes started after striking garment workers were prevented from walking to the Prime Minister’s residence, where they were planning to stage a demonstration, Mr. Colville said.
“One bystander was shot dead and many others seriously injured during the clashes that followed involving demonstrators, civilians who were not initially taking part in the protest, and armed municipal police and
“The police were seen beating individuals with truncheons, and shooting live ammunition and rubber bullets from close range.”
He added that while most of the 38 people arrested during the clashes have now been released, two minors – aged 14 and 17 – reportedly remain in custody.
This latest incident follows previous clashes which took place in September near Phnom Penh’s Monivong Bridge, where police and gendarmerie forces fired into a crowd at a roadblock, resulting in one death and several injuries.
“We are following up with the concerned authorities and urging them to launch a prompt and thorough investigation into these clashes and to ensure full accountability for members of security forces found to have used disproportionate and excessive force,” said Mr. Colville.
“We also urge them to ensure that the minors who have been arrested are treated in a manner appropriate to their age and in accordance with international human rights standards.”
While urging protestors to ensure that the demonstrations remain peaceful, OHCHR also called on the authorities to ensure that freedom of expression and peaceful assembly is fully respected.

I appeal to UN, no need to waste time to investigate the killing Cambodian people case in Cambodia, HUN SEN is the one has ordered to kill any Cambodian who against him such as Chea Vechea, Chut Vuthy, and the rest all Cambodian.
This culture of Impunity should be curbed.
Intervention of UN is imperative due to the standing human rights abuse of RGC.

The evidence were sufficient of proof the hun sen government behind the the police brutality, the fact is police of Phnom Penh police commander is CPP member. This is not the first time the hun sen regime was committed the crime killed, harm. and suffering to innocent people. What international and national communities should taken measure to anti- hun sen regime, the hun sen regime is was broken national and international rules of law. I strongly recommended to international communities immediately taken action to bring hun sen to justice, the problems will solve when the hun sen in the jail.
Criminal justice system
All Cambodian now are protesting not only against Hun Sen regime (Bandit & Khmer people, but against the shadow agressor VN standing behind CPP. The VN is anexxing Khmer country by using its tool, CPP. UN, Please open your eyes.
i THINK HUN SEN WILL NOT DO ANY INVESTIGATION BY U N SAID AT ALL.IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.WATH OUT.
WHEN HUN SEN GET TROUBLE HE RUN FOR U N BUT WHEN UN SAID SOMETHING HUN SEN WON'T LISTEN AT
ALL. THAT IS HUN SEN WAY AND IT WILL NOT GET ANY ONE IN JAIL FOR THIS CRIME .
Communist when they did something they used to say goes bottom class did and the one who did it hidden or dies by secret without the tress you won't invesigation on that matter?why they do this shame of being action again human rigth the answer so smooth to any one asked .KRANHUN EASAN
What Hun/CPP/VC/Chin are doing is called 'kill the chicken to scare the monkey'. We people of Cambodia will not be afraid of such evil tractics and tricks that have been used for thousands of years. We are very familiar with all kinds of tactics and tricks. So far, they are trying to frame and defame those innocent people in order to send a sign of threatening mode, but instead people are getting smarter and stronger than before. Because amount of violence can win the from that outcome. It is time for everyone to stand up and fight for your right, the right to live in dignity and pride, the right to be existed just like everyone else in this world. It is time to say to the VC and the Chinese to piss of our land and sea and to leave khmer politic alone. It is time to take their puppet Hun Sen back, because isn't 30 serving your naitonal interests enough already? what more do want? to destroy the whole country and nation or what? if so, please, we are not that stupid as you think we are.
So far, you (VC/CH) have helped each other to created one party after another to attack each other, on top of that you said khmers own them, when in fact, they are the one who owed khmers everything. Kingta said, I have helped them in every way I could but still they talked bad about me...they are expanisionists and they are like crocodiles and Hun Sen added 'no one wants to lose their land and sea but because we are under their controlled'. This says alot, it is time for the international community to step in, to help us, to rescue us from both the VC and the Chinese. Please don't be fooled by them no more, they said not to interfere in our internal affair, while they do. At the moment, KHmers are being robbed, killed and steal. So far, they took our Koh Tral and encroaching into our territory as well as controlling our gov't system from top to bottom. It is time to expose like who they are and what they are capable of.
The Chinese is allowing the Viet to do whatever they want to Cambodia and in return, they would recieve the fair share, while Cambodia is in crisis e.g barely have food to eat and on top of that, they are being exploited for their own national interests. eg all donated goods and money ended up falling into their hands. It is time for the international community to acknowledge this real fact of life, that the main perpetrators are of the Viets and Chinese. These two nations should be eliminated from being existed or else, it will be too late for everyone else in this world. They are expanisionists and have no mercy for other races.
If UN, USA, or other countries can lawfully bring these criminal shooters of CPP to justice, therefore, Cambodia will initially be the urgent first step walking into the real Democracy!
Hun Xen will unluckily be the most ugly old lion without the criminal wolves!
Look on this mad MP?

What makes you think Hun Sen is scared of the U.N?
Hun Sen is a strong man. Even when Hun Sen killed many protesters and and bystanders in the grenade bombings. The UN did nothing.
Now the UN pretends that they care about Hun Sen killing an old lady?

I noticed a strong KR man known as a brutal killer, but he became so weak with pale shocking face when it came to be arrested by other region army .
So nothing is that strong when comes to own fate of being killed, likewise Saddam Hussein when he was found from rat hole.
Stop being stupid,will you?

the video shows the police or security guard uses too much force on the protesters. i wonder, why the police don't use more handcuffs to stop people from using violence. yes, arrest them and use handcuffs, don't hit them or shoot at them like this! this is sending bad message of police violence. i mean everybody can see it on video, the police should be reprimanded and fired and sued for accessive use of force on the people like this! unforgiveable for authority to use excessive voilence!
This Khmer Rouge Hun Sen will continue to kill Khmer people to please his master Vietnam if he did not get punished.
Thank you the UN for your concern regarding the violence in Cambodia.
The root cause of such violence was stemming from the neocolonialist Vietnam.
Bun Thoeun
U.N knows and U.N has been talking about about; however, nothing has been done to stop this kind of excessive use of forces against unarmed civilians.
HUN SEN asked Ing Bun Heang to kill Chean Vi Chea, to throw granad killing many demonstrators in 1997, HUN SEN killed many Cambodian heroes such as Chut Vuthy the Cambodian forestry activist and many many Cambodian, why UN always has asked HUN SEN to investigate the killing probe ? even young Cambodian know who was behind the killing field, who was behind the killing case in Cambodia ? this is the main reason that is why HUN SEN does not to step down from the power ?
Long life Mr. PM Hun Sen. Congratulations on your winning!!!!! And I strongly believe in you and in your change agenda for spearhead cambodia for a better future, a future without corruption and justice for all khmers (no one should be above law). I'll continue to support you.....
