A woman was shot dead and several people injured in violent clashes between protesting garment workers and riot police in the Cambodian capital Tuesday, a rights group and family members said. The clashes erupted as several hundred employees from a factory supplying global brands marched towards Prime Minister Hun Sen's home in the heart of Phnom Penh to demand better working conditions. "This is a cruel crackdown by the authorities," said Am Sam Ath from local rights group Licadho, adding that aside from the fatality, five other people suffered gunshot wounds.
