Statement The Building and Wood Workers’ Trade Union Federation of Cambodia (BWTUC) and Center for Alliance of Labor and Human Rights (CENTRAL) are saddened and shocked by a workplace accident which occurred on 29 May 2020 at 4 PM, causing the deaths of two Khmer workers at a cement production factory Thai Boon Rong, located in La’ang Village, La’ang Commune, Dang Tong District, Kampot Province. These two workers were named Kon Tal (male, 31) and Menh Ron (male, 34) worked in quarrying and detonation for this Chinese subcontractor employing approximately 10 workers. Whilst they were working to mine rocks for Thai Boon Rong, rocks from the mountain fell onto them from above. Their bodies were extracted from the rock on the evening of 29 May at 7:30 PM and sent to their families for traditional funeral ceremonies. This is not the first incident, following the tragedies of building collapses in Preah Sihanouk and Kep Provinces. After seeing this shocking incident and in order to prevent workplace accidents in the future and promote workplace safety, the Building and Wood Workers’ Trade Union Federation of Cambodia (BWTUC) and Center for Alliance of Labor and Human Rights (CENTRAL), request the Royal Government of Cambodia to push for the following measures: 1. Immediately suspend the Chinese subcontractor company and wait for inspections and evaluations from skilled institutions to be sure that this company has proper authorisation to operate a sub-contracting business from Thai Boon Rong. 2. Push for regular, effective, and transparent labour inspections to inspect safety conditions and standards at all subcontracting companies of Thai Boon Rong. 3. Provide adequate compensation to victims’ families, including dependents. 4. Search for the persons responsible and prosecute them according to the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The Building and Wood Workers’ Trade Union Federation of Cambodia (BWTUC) and Center for Alliance of Labor and Human Rights (CENTRAL) will continue to follow and pay the closest attention to this accident to ensure that the victims’ families receive proper compensation and justice according to the law. Phnom Penh, 2 June 2020 .

Field Trip Report: Malai District, a Former Khmer Rouge Stronghold
mCÄmNÐlÉkßrkm<úCa “Humanizing Perpetrators: Is It Possible?” THE DC‐CAM'S PROMOTING ACCOUNTABILITY FIELD TRIP REPORT Malai District ‐‐ A Former Khmer Rouge Stronghold Banteay Meanchey Province By Dany Long Summary and Context within Large Project The interviews summarized above are part of an ongoing project being conducted by the Promoting Accountability (PA) team at Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC‐Cam). This project involves conducting interviews with former Khmer Rouge cadres who live in the areas of Cambodia that were Khmer Rouge strongholds until the mid‐1990s. In each of these areas the PA team interviews between 100 and 150 former Khmer Rouge cadres. To date, the PA team has found that these communities remain insular groups made up of individuals with markedly different viewpoints than other former Khmer Rouge cadres who have spent the past 30 plus years living side by side with victims of the Khmer Rouge regime throughout the rest of Cambodia. It is also become clear that these communities have not been integrated with the rest of Cambodian society. The PA team’s work focuses on determining whether individuals within these insular, former Khmer Rouge communities can be humanized after being such staunch supporters of the bloody Khmer Rouge regime. The team is currently drafting a book and photo exhibition of portraits of the individuals interviewed as part of this project entitled “Humanizing Perpetrators: Is It Possible?” Additionally, an international exhibition tour of photographs of family life in these communities, contrasting past and present portraits of former Khmer Rouge cadres and their families, is currently being developed.
