CCC leads to deliver a joint statement to embassies
by Khim Sambo Rothana, Communications Officer
Phnom Penh (January 23, 2014) – Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) led an appeal to the ambassadors of four South-East Asian countries to support a demand for the unconditional release of 23 garment workers and human rights activists unconstitutionally imprisoned since January 3.
An NGO delegation led by CCC visited the embassies of Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei to deliver a Joint Statement signed by 182 organizations. It calls not only for the release of the people arrested during a violent crackdown on demonstrations by workers and political opponents but also for an inquiry into the shooting deaths of four workers and wounding of 39 other people on 3-4 Jan 2014, and for payment of reparations to the families of the injured and dead.
Earlier in the week, similar NGO delegations had delivered the Joint Statement to eight other foreign embassies, seeking to maintain an international focus on human rights issues in Cambodia.
The statement also calls on members of the Garment Manufacturers Association of Cambodia (GMAC) to drop legal proceedings against unions involved in strike action.
