Nearly 30 Cambodian migrant workers returned to Cambodia from Jordan on July 31 after they were stranded without employment or income in the country for more than three months. 

Khun Tharo, program manager at labor rights group Central, said the 28 workers landed at Phnom Penh International Airport on chartered flight after their employment contracts at two garment factories in Al-Karak were terminated on March 17.

Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Koy Kuong said July 31 that the embassy in Egypt had cooperated with the Jordanian government and the factory owners to urge them to honor their contracts with the workers.
