Statement |  Stop the Persecution of LRSU Unionists

3 July 2026

We, the civil society organizations, associations, unions, and federations listed below, express our deep concern regarding the recent actions of the Phnom Penh Municipal Court, which has summoned members of the NagaWorld Labor Rights Supported Union (LRSU) for questioning in relation to "aggravated intentional destruction" allegedly committed at the NagaWorld casino premises, following their participation in a peaceful and non-violent strike.

For more than four years, the authorities and courts have still failed to deliver justice to LRSU union activists. The court must drop all charges against all LRSU union leaders and members and restore their full freedom. Relevant institutions should turn to resolving this long-standing labor dispute, rather than continuing to delay in the hope that workers will exhaust their means of protest, abandon their demands for justice, and continue to endure harassment and suffering.
