...Puma, Gap and H&M have urged Cambodia to fully probe the recent shooting and wounding of protesting garment workers as the sole suspect, a local governor, remained at large Monday. The international buyers voiced "deep concern" over the February 20 incident in which a gunman opened fire at a rally by thousands of workers demanding better working conditions at factories in eastern Svay Rieng province..."During the unrest, three female workers of Puma supplier Kaoway Sports Ltd. were shot and injured," the brands said in a letter sent to the Cambodian commerce ministry on March 9..."We respectfully urge the Royal Government of Cambodia to conduct a full and transparent investigation... and hold those responsible for injuring workers accountable," said the signatories, which also included American Eagle Outfitters, The Jones Group and Columbia Sportswear Company.
