Volume 458: debated on Wednesday 28 March 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment she has made of the observance of the rights of organised labour in Cambodia by the Government of that country. (129564)

We are concerned at the reports of the recent murder of Hy Vuthy, trade union activist. This is the third trade union official to be killed in three years. The local EU representatives have requested the Government of Cambodia ensure that a full enquiry into the circumstances of the death is conducted without delay and that appropriate action is taken to bring to justice those responsible. We, with our EU partners, will continue to follow developments closely.
