2012 Bavet Shooting
The 2012 Bavet shooting was the shooting of three striking garment workers, Keo Near, Buot Chinda and Nuth Sakhorn, in Bavet, Svay Rieng, Cambodia, by then-town governor Chhouk Bandith on February 20, 2012. The shooting and the following court cases received national attention in Cambodia and have been characterised as highlighting the "culture of impunity among Cambodian officials implicated in scandals and the reluctance of Cambodian courts to find justice for the victims of attacks on labour activists." Shooting In February 2012, thousands of workers were protesting for a pay raise and better working conditions in Manhattan Economic Zone in Bavet, Svay Rieng. Police used tear gas against some of the strikes, and on February 20, workers arriving for work at Kaoway Sports factory, a supplier of Puma, found the factory closed and guarded by police. The police told the workers they were there on the orders of city governor Chhouk Bandith. Throughout the morning, additional workers ...

Coalition Of Cambodian Apparel Workers' Democratic Union
The Coalition of Cambodian Apparel Workers' Democratic Union (C.CAWDU) is a Cambodian trade union federation representing workers in the textile and manufacturing sectors. C.CAWDU's current President is Kong Athit, who was re-elected for a second term in August 2023. The federation was formed in 2000 and is affiliated to the Cambodian Labour Confederation, as well as IndustriALL and the International Trade Union Confederation. History Founding and early organizing attempts C.CAWDU was formed in 2000, its creation facilitated by the Cambodian Labor Organization (CLO), following a dispute between the CLO and the National Independent Federation Textile Union of Cambodia (NIFTUC) - a union itself formed by the CLO in 1999. C.CAWDU's inaugural president was Chhorn Sokha, making the union one of only two women-led trade union federations in Cambodia at the time. C.CAWDU was well supported by international organizations and rapidly expanded, representing members across 25 factor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2010s Trials
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trials In Asia
In law, a trial is a coming together of parties to a dispute, to present information (in the form of evidence) in a tribunal, a formal setting with the authority to adjudicate claims or disputes. One form of tribunal is a court. The tribunal, which may occur before a judge, jury, or other designated trier of fact, aims to achieve a resolution to their dispute. Types by finder of fact Where the trial is held before a group of members of the community, it is called a jury trial. Where the trial is held solely before a judge, it is called a bench trial. Hearings before administrative bodies may have many of the features of a trial before a court, but are typically not referred to as trials. An appeal (appellate proceeding) is also generally not deemed a trial, because such proceedings are usually restricted to a review of the evidence presented before the trial court, and do not permit the introduction of new evidence. Types by dispute Trials can also be divided by the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mass Shootings In Asia
Mass is an intrinsic property of a body. It was traditionally believed to be related to the quantity of matter in a physical body, until the discovery of the atom and particle physics. It was found that different atoms and different elementary particles, theoretically with the same amount of matter, have nonetheless different masses. Mass in modern physics has multiple definitions which are conceptually distinct, but physically equivalent. Mass can be experimentally defined as a measure of the body's inertia, meaning the resistance to acceleration (change of velocity) when a net force is applied. The object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses.
