Rithy’s absence has forced the family to face numerous challenges, including debt issues and raising their four children on her own.

Kong Athith, President of Cambodian Labour Confederation (CLC), said union activities that protect workers’ rights should not be subject to prosecution or punishment. So, he urged the court to pardon Rithy, so that he can return to do union work…
