Phnom Penh (dpa) – Two Cambodian garment workers injured at a protest accused a former official of attempted murder and demanded compensation, local media reported Wednesday. Bun Chenda, 21, and Nuth Sokhorn, 23, were shot along with a co-worker on February 20 during a workers' demonstration at an industrial zone in Bavet City near the Vietnamese border. Both women worked at a factory supplying German sportswear giant Puma SE. They filed a complaint with the provincial court on Tuesday, the Cambodia Daily newspaper reported. They said the gunman was former Bavet governor Chhouk Bandhit, and accused him of attempted murder, demanding 95,000 US dollars in compensation. The suspect was due to appear for questioning at the provincial court on Friday. A group of international garment manufacturers – including Gap Inc, Puma SE, H&M and the American Apparel & Footwear Association – has called on Cambodia to investigate the shootings. A letter sent by the group to the Commerce Ministry last week urged “a full and transparent investigation” to “hold those responsible for injuring workers accountable.” BM ShortURL: http://goo.gl/IaWxU Tags: Cambodia, Labor, Shooting, Workers Section: East Asia, Latest News
