Union leaders and garment workers attempting to view a controversial documentary today on the murder of labour leader Chea Vichea were thwarted when the owner of the local restaurant where they had gathered cut the electricity in the building.
Representatives of the Free Trade Union – which Chea Vichea headed at the time of his assassination in 2004 – gathered today along with officials from the opposition Sam Rainsy Party and the embassy of the United Kingdom in an attempt to screen the 2009 documentary Who Killed Chea Vichea? by American director Bradley Cox.
The film investigates Chea Vichea’s murder and the dubious charges against two men initially accused of the crime, suggesting that government officials may have in fact helped plan the killing.
