Global brands and retailers from Kampuchea have repeatedly condemned such violent crackdown.

At the end of January this year, the brands sent letters to the government, manufacturers and trade unions in Kampuchea. They expressed strong opposition to all forms of violence and expressed great concern about the volatile production situation in Kampuchea.

These brands emphasized that they were concerned about the safety of suppliers and the long-term stable development of the garment industry in Kampuchea, and hoped that all parties could refrain from using force or violence in future.
