Cambodian Embassy Targeted in Global Day of Action Monday Morning
Friday, February 7, 2014
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Local activists will rally outside the
Cambodian Embassy at 8:30a
Monday morning to demand the release of 23
protesters arrested while
demonstrating for a higher wage for garment
workers last month. The DC demo is
part of a global day of action at Cambodian
embassies that will protest the
“brutal government repression” at the
January rallies in Cambodia that left
four dead and 39 injured after Cambodian police
opened fire on the
demonstrators. The 23 detainees include trade
union leaders and workers, who
are scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
