Thousands of Cambodians from around the country, including community activists, trade unionists, students and NGO workers, will gather at Phnom Penh’s Olympic Stadium on Sunday (December 10) to commemorate International Human Rights Day. Jointly organized by more than 70 organizations under the theme “We Are All Human Rights Defenders”, the day-long event aims to acknowledge and promote the valuable roles that Cambodians from all walks of life play in protecting human rights. It will celebrate the achievements made in human rights in Cambodia, but also focus on critical issues still facing the country’s citizens – including the theft and exploitation of land and natural resources; restrictions to the freedoms of expression, association and assembly; and violations of labor rights.
