1 Killed as Cambodia Cops Fire on Garment Workers

Cambodian police have fired live ammunition at protesting garment workers outside the capital, killing a bystander and injuring at least six protesters. A human rights group says hundreds of workers from the SL Garment Processing Factory—which makes clothing for Gap, H&M, and other international brands—clashed with around a thousand riot police sent to block a march from the factory to the Phnom Penh residence of Prime Minister Hun Sen. Protesters threw rocks at police, who responded with tear gas and bullets, killing a man who was selling rice by the roadside. The workers have been protesting for months for better pay and working conditions. (More Cambodia stories.)
