Joint statement on: Migrant Workers’ Challenges in relation to Recruiting Companies, T & P Co, Ltd and Giant Ocean International Fishery Co, Ltd [PDF]

Due to negligence by [T&P which had its license withheld by the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training and Giant Ocean International Fishery which was closed down in early 2012], we have observed that there are a lot of issues challenging migrant workers such as: rights violation, physical assault, forced labor, disappearance, detention in the receiving country without salary or a reduced salary, lack of food which may cause sickness, and death may also occur from a variety of different factors...The NGOs strongly urge the Cambodian government and the court to immediately take serious action to hold these two companies accountable, following the Cambodian legal procedures currently in force. [Business & Human Rights Resource Centre attempted to invite T&P to respond, but company representatives could not be reached]
