The Phnom Penh Municipal Court has finished an investigation into the shooting deaths of five protesting garment factory workers, and the wounding of more than 40 others, during a military police operation against stone-throwing strikers on January 3, Judge Phou Povsun said Sunday. “We had finished the investigation on Friday,” Judge Povsun said. … There are currently 21 people detained in jail after being arrested by soldiers and military police officers during garment strike protests on January 2 and 3. Last week, during high-level talks held in Brussels, the European Union called on visiting Cambodia government officials to release the 21 jailed protesters.
