PHNOM PENH, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian anti-riot police and garment protesters clashed here on Tuesday morning, leaving one person dead, 6 injured, and a dozen of protesters were arrested.

The incident occurred in the capital's Meanchey district when hundreds of protesting workers at SL Garment Processing (Cambodia) Ltd had tried to march to Prime Minister Hun Sen's house for help with demand for payrise and better working conditions, but the police did not allow them to march by blocking the road.

"In the clash, strikers threw stones at police and set a police car and two motorcycles on fire," Kheng Tito, spokesman for the National Military Police, told Xinhua. "The police have retaliated by using water cannons and smoke bombs to disperse protestors."



He said at least a policeman was injured on his head by protestors' stones.

"After about a three-hour clash, we had arrested more than 10 protesters for inquiry," he said.

Eyewitnesses said police had fired real bullets on protesters, accidentally killed a female food seller on the sidewalk, and injured at least five protesters.

Vong Voleak, 23, the daughter of the dead woman, said that her mother, 49, was accidentally hit by a live bullet on her chest while she was standing at her food booth.

"She died shortly after being sent to hospital," she told reporters after the incident.


However, Kheng Tito denied that the police had shot real bullets to crack down on protesters. "Our forces have never fired live bullets on protesters, it is against the law."

Ath Thon, president of the Coalition of Cambodian Apparel Workers' Democratic Union, who led the protest, said the violence broke out as the police prevented about 2,000 strikers from marching to Prime Minister Hun Sen's house.

SL Factory workers have been on strike since early August to demand payrise and better working conditions.

Garment industry is the country's largest income earner, accounting than 80 percent of the country's exports. Last year, the country earned 4.6 billion U.S. dollars from garment exports, according to the report of the Ministry of Commerce.

Currently, the country has about 500 garment and footwear factories employing some 510,600 workers.

This is about Garments industry everywhere in the world, only only Cambodia. The condition of their labors so bad and the usually the garments industry always seeking for low pay workers for them to easily abuse. United States one of the worsen when dealing with Garment Industries.

This is how the Khmers lost their lands to Vietnam (Srok Youn) and eventually lose their place in the world (Ors Dei Nowv). It is not so much because the Vietnameses (Youns) are smarter and stronger but simply because the Khmers are stupid and weak!!! Just look at the images of how the Khmer security (be it Khmer CPP or Khmer rouge) treated their own people and you will understand why Khmers messed up. No foreigners ever had to kill the Khmers directly; simply gave Khmers a dose stimulance and the work (killing Khmers) was done. Khmers are different, even when they live oversea, they are negatively different from the rest of the world...easily corrupted, easily mellowed :-) Just be that way!!!

Dear All HUN SEN's supporters,

Mr Tree Nareen a Bantey Meanchey provincial governor was killed by car crashed last night, the same Mr Ung Phoern a former Kra Ties provincial governor was killed by car crashed too, the same Mr Hok Long Dee was killed by Helicopter crashed too, and the same like others were killed by the brutal ways, this is because those people had done so bad thing to innocent Cambodian people, and you all now must stop doing so, otherwise you all will have the same luck like those people believe me.
