Military police and security forces opened fire on striking garment workers near the Canadia Industrial Park on Veng Sreng road, Phnom Penh, during the national garment wage strike. The BBC reported three killed and several injured; the Los Angeles Times, Al Jazeera and LICADHO reported at least four dead and dozens injured, with LICADHO counting 38 people hospitalised. It was widely described at the time as the worst state violence in Cambodia in more than a decade.
