PHNOM PENH: A union leader freed from prison on Monday (Sept 16) after serving time for her part in a strike against Cambodia’s biggest casino has vowed to continue the labour action until justice is done.

Chhim Sithar was sentenced in May 2023 to two years' imprisonment for incitement to commit a felony, including time served before her conviction, in connection with the strike against the NagaWorld casino, the longest such labour action in the country's history.
