Riot Police Does Not Interrupt Worker’s Picnic/ Demo

Cambodian garment factory workers on a strike to see their salaries take a hike to 160$ per month were demonstrating in front of the Ministry of Labour in Phnom Penh, blocking Russian Boulevard. The arrival of riot police did not interrupt the 3.000 strong demonstration which also attracted an important contingent of stingy shell or steamed corn sellers… The protest dissolved around 2:00PM, with the workers promising to protest again on January 2nd.

Have a happy New Year and enjoy the truce if truce there will be.
