Cambodia's Supreme Court Upholds Sentence for Labor Union Leader

Chhim Sithar's two-year prison term for incitement during a casino strike is confirmed, amid ongoing protests for her release.

Chhim Sithar, leader of the NagaWorld casino strike, had her two-year sentence upheld by Cambodia's Supreme Court.
The strike began in December 2021, protesting layoffs and alleged union-busting at NagaWorld.
Dismissed workers continue to protest, demanding rehiring and the release of Sithar.
Eight fellow union members also had their convictions and sentences upheld by the court.
Sithar recognized internationally as a Human Rights Defender, could be released later this year due to time served.
