The labor leader who spearheaded a protracted strike against the largest casino in the nation was sentenced to two years in prison, and on Friday, the Supreme Court of Cambodia upheld that decision.
The president of NagaWorld's Labor Rights Supported Union of Khmer Employees was first found guilty in May 2023 of inciting others to commit a crime.
After a demonstration in January 2022 by fired employees demanding to be hired back, she was arrested and charged. She had been leading a strike that started in December 2021 to protest mass layoffs and alleged union-busting at the NagaWorld casino in the capital.
