Latest Human Rights NewsFollow us on facebook or on twitter Livestream Trial of Cambodian "Multi-media Monk" Venerable Sovath
November 24, 2014
Renowned human rights defender Venerable Loun Sovath will appear before the Phnom Penh Municipal Court in a flawed and protracted judicial process aiming to silence him. He has been charged with "incitement to commit a felony" for joining and supporting demonstrations by victims of land disputes throughout Cambodia.
November 23, 2014
To mark the start of the global campaign, 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence, LICADHO has published a report exploring how the lives of women campaigners are changed by their activism. It reveals the high price women pay, suffering not only serious economic and emotional impacts but also often domestic violence and family breakdown.
November 23, 2014 This morning, over 300 people gathered outside Prey Sar prison to protest against recent politically motivated arrests for the second consecutive Sunday in a row.
Civil society organisations, monks, and communities protested outside CC1 and CC2 prisons at Prey Sar while US politician and elected representative for the state of Massachusetts, Morm Rady, addressed the crowd with relatives of those imprisoned.
Following the protests at the prison, the crowd moved to Phnom Penh Municipal Court for further demonstrations.

November 23, 2014
We, the 16 endorsing non-governmental organizations, urge the Cambodian authorities to drop the charges against renowned human rights defender Venerable Luon Sovath. He is facing trial on 25 November 2014 in a flawed and protracted judicial process that clearly aims to silence him. Venerable Sovath is internationally known as the "multi-media monk," and his efforts to voice the human rights abuses against vulnerable communities and human rights defenders in Cambodia have been recognized globally.
November 21, 2014
Sunday is International Day to End Impunity. 'Freedom of Assembly in Cambodia' is a 3.5 minute music video made up of footage from the past 14 months showing both state-sponsored abuses committed with impunity, and the resilience of Cambodian activists in the face of oppression.
November 20, 2014
Today marks the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). On October 15, 1992, the Cambodian government ratified the CRC, thus pledging to protect and promote four fundamental rights of children everywhere: "the right to survival; to develop to the fullest; to protection from harmful influences, abuse and exploitation; and to participate fully in family, cultural and social life".
On this day, LICADHO releases a video of Seng Sokhim, a 16 year old girl who actively promotes and protects the rights of children in her community in Bak Keng commune, Phnom Penh. Sokhim is part of LICADHO's Child Protection Groups (CPGs) network that operates on the grassroots level to empower children, youths, and adults to be children's rights advocates.
November 12, 2014
On the morning of Tuesday, November 11, approximately 50 representatives from several land communities gathered outside the Phnom Penh Municipal Court to protest the detention of seven Boeung Kak Lake activists who had been arrested the day before while protesting outside Phnom Penh City Hall against the alleged failure of city authorities to deal with the issue of flooding around the site of the former lake.
Over 100 riot police and security guards violently broke up the protest in front of the court and arrested three additional land activists and one monk.
November 12, 2014
We, the undersigned civil society groups, condemn the arrest, detention, and conviction of the seven Boeung Kak Lake community representatives following protests outside Phnom Penh City Hall on the morning of November 10, 2014.
October 21, 2014
On October 20, 2014, security guards in Phnom Penh were once again captured senselessly beating peaceful land protesters. About 80 villagers from Preah Vihear province had come to Phnom Penh to ask for assistance from national institutions, to help resolve their land dispute which has affected over 200 families. However, shortly after noon, the villagers were violently dispersed by the guards while military police and police officers stood by near the Prime Minister's home.
The violence left a total of 18 people injured. Several of them, including an 18 year-old boy, suffered head wounds.
October 16, 2014
We, the undersigned civil society groups, condemn the actions of the Oddar Meanchey authorities who have, since September 2014, been engaged in the obstruction, harassment, intimidation, and assault of rights workers. Most recently, a four-person team from Equitable Cambodia ("EC") was in the province to conduct field research on the impacts of forced evictions resulting from economic land concessions granted for the development of sugarcane plantations. The plantations are owned by the Mitr Phol Group, one of Coca-Cola's top three global suppliers. Research data collected will be provided to the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand ("NHRCT"), which is investigating Mitr Phol's operations in Cambodia.
October 6, 2014
Today as communities all over the world stand in solidarity for World Habitat Day, some 600 community members gathered at the National Assembly to demand 'development for all' and an end to forced evictions across Cambodia. This video highlights the ongoing land dispute between the Borei Keila community in Phnom Penh and local development company, Phanimex.
September 18, 2014
Today, CLEC and LICADHO release a legal analysis of the latest draft of the Law on Unions of Enterprises (Trade Union Law) obtained at the end of May, this year. As unions yesterday began a nationwide campaign for a $177 per month minimum wage, the draft Trade Union Law underlines the government's intent to interfere with and infringe upon union formation and activities.
September 17, 2014
At approximately 11am, labour unions in and around Phnom Penh launched the $177 minimum wage campaign in front of garment factories as workers were going on their lunch break. In the Canadia Industrial Park alone, over a thousand workers gathered next to factories to demand a humane minimum wage. Military soldiers were stationed along Veng Sreng road and inside Canadia Industrial Park to intimidate workers.
September 12, 2014
We the undersigned condemn the continued intimidation and harassment of human rights defenders in Cambodia. We call upon the competent authorities to investigate those responsible for ordering the groundless detention of Equitable Cambodia Staff Meg Fukuzawa and Lida Sok.
August 30, 2014
Today, on the occasion of International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, we, the undersigned organizations, urge ASEAN member states to end acts of enforced disappearances in Southeast Asia.
Cases of enforced disappearances continue to occur in the region. Victims include human rights defenders as well as ordinary citizens. Enforced disappearances also continue to target vulnerable groups, such as children. Three new cases of enforced disappearance that took place over the past year clearly illustrate this worrying pattern.
August 21, 2014
On August 18, 2014, the Phnom Penh Sugar Co. Ltd., took out advertisements in several major Cambodian newspapers accusing Equitable Cambodia's Executive Director, Mr. Eang Vuthy, of making false and misleading statements about Oknha Ly Yong Phat, and causing "irreparable damage" to the Senator's reputation as well as that of his business, Phnom Penh Sugar.
While the Senator may currently have no involvement in the management or ownership of Khon Kaen Sugar Company's in Koh Kong province or Mitr Pohl Sugar Company's in Oddar Meanchey province, there is strong evidence that Ly Yong Phat was involved with each of these companies and with the forcible eviction of thousands of villagers.
August 20, 2014
LICADHO calls for immediate family access to all three CNRP youth leaders currently detained in Prey Sar's CC1 prison. Khin Chamreun, Neang Sokhun and San Kimheng have now been in pre-trial detention for 18 days and have not been permitted any family visits.
August 12, 2014
On August 12 International Youth Day, LICADHO is releasing profiles of youths who are part of our Child Protection Groups (CPGs) network, and actively promote child rights in their respective communities. LICADHO works with 73 CPGs, six of which represent youth and comprise 81 members across four target areas: Phnom Penh/Kandal, Preah Sihanouk, Koh Kong, and Siem Reap. This year, some youth CPG members from Phnom Penh/Kandal participated in International Youth Day celebrations in Phnom Penh organized by other youth networks. The theme was, "Youth Social Movement and Change." The group marched from Freedom Park to the National Assembly where youth CPG members submitted a statement calling on the government to promote child rights

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has completed the administration of the 2010 MCPSS. The 2010 results reflect the percentage of provider satisfaction as distributed on the new, fully labeled, 5-point scale:
1-very dissatisfied2-dissatisfied3-neither satisfied nor dissatisfied4-satisfied5-very satisfied
A random sample of over 33,000 providers was selected to participate in this year's survey. Providers were asked to rate their satisfaction with services provided by the Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare contractors. Of all providers who responded, more than 69 percent stated they were satisfied or very satisfied with their contractor's overall performance. Approximately 13 percent stated they were dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. From the results, CMS is able to identify the contractor services that providers value the most, as well as areas that need improvement. CMS will use this information to encourage process improvements with the FFS Medicare contractors. The 2010 MCPSS public report details findings from the survey and can be accessed at https://www.cms.hhs.gov/MCPSS.

Because spending time with your girl- friends will help you develop your personal interests, it will also help you maintain your sense of self throughout your marriage, which will keep you satisfied, confident and aware of your own values. And it will strengthen your relationship with your future husband. "You'll keep bringing fresh things to the marriage," says Sheehy. —E.D.M. modernbride.com/boston 167

'Twin Peaks' Cast: Where Are They Now?
by Kim Potts, posted Apr 8th 2010 12:00PM
'Twin Peaks,' David Lynch's cult classic serial drama about the quirky, cherry pie-and-coffee-lovin' FBI agent Dale Cooper and the mysteries he investigates among the equally quirky denizens of fictional Twin Peaks, Washington, debuted 20 years ago today. And because its impact on pop culture endures -- as do airings of the series on A&E's Crime and Investigation Network, as well as NBC Universal's Chiller -- it's the perfect time to catch up with what the Lynchian stars have been up to in the past two decades.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- The tradition-rich task of overseeing production of the famed Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey brand is passing from one native Tennessean to another.
Jeff Arnett was named master distiller at the historic Jack Daniel Distillery at Lynchburg, Tenn., on Wednesday. He succeeds his mentor for the past seven years, Jimmy Bedford.
The 41-year-old Arnett joins an exclusive group, becoming just the seventh master distiller of Jack Daniel's whiskey, the flagship brand for Louisville-based liquor company Brown-Forman Corp.
Bedford retired last month after a 40-year career at Jack Daniel's, the last 20 as master distiller in which he became the promotional face behind the product.
Arnett said he was humbled to follow in the footsteps of past master distillers, but said he was prepared after being involved in almost every aspect of whiskey making as Bedford's understudy.

Restaurants that call you and ask that you "Call us back to confirm" a reservation you've already confirmed online. Do you call back?
- Breadcrumbs Jun 1, 2011 07:01 AM
Increasingly restaurants are accepting, if not encouraging, online reservations. I happen to love the convenience of this however, lately I've been finding that more and more restaurants are calling me a day or two in advance and leaving a message saying to give them a call back to confirm the reservation.
While I understand why they're doing this, I also find it annoying. It tells me that they don't trust that if my plans have changed, that I'd let them know.
They are now creating a more cumbersome, two-step reservation process. The message is, if you want to dine here, make a reservation on-line and then, you better call us closer to the date too.
I dine out frequently due to business and lately, I haven't been calling back. What about you?
Yes. I'd rather spend 5 minutes on the phone than lose the reservation. We've had too many online reservations disappear. Or maybe "disappear".
Yes, I call back. Always. Not only would I, too, "rather spend 5 minutes on the phone than lose the reservation," but online reservations are not fool-proof. In other words, from my end, I've shown up at the appointed date and time only to have the restaurant have no record of my making a reservation -- this is why I *always* print out the emailed confirmation and bring it with me.
But more importantly, from the restaurant's point-of-view, you have hit the nail on the head:
>>> It tells me that they don't trust that if my plans have changed, that I'd let them know. <<<
Have you ever worked in the front of the house? Do you have any idea how many people change their plans and do NOT let the restaurant know? Happens every night -- or, at least, several times a week -- whether we're talking about casual dining, fine dining, or even "uber-fine" dining. This is precisely why they still ask for a confirmation within 48 hours, and why some restaurants will insist on a credit card to charge if you fail to appear . . .
it isn't personal ..... no one is calling you,specifically, untrustworthy. most restaurants are operating on a razor thin margin right now, and they cannot afford tables sitting empty
It's unfortunate that so many people are so inconsiderate as to make reservations and simply fail to show up. But it's pretty common, so you can't blame the restaurant for asking for confirmation. They're just trying to make sure they have customers for all their tables and tables for all their customers - that's a good thing. And for me the confirmation phone call has always been a matter of seconds, not minutes, so it really isn't that big a deal.
At least it's harder these days for the boors to make three or four reservations and then decide at the last minute what they're "in the mood" for. Lots of places use Open Table, which will only allow you to hold a single reservation at a time without resorting to convoluted shenanigans.
BC, have to agree with everyone, though it's a pain for someone like you who dines out a lot. Better to call and make sure they have your spot, as you'll waste more time and energy arguing with a restaurant about not having your res, then maybe having to find someplace else to eat - just a bad start to an evening.
Even if you call in advance it is good etiquette to call the day of to confirm your reservations. If they call me it is one less thing I have to remember. If I make the reservation the day of I don't confirm. I have never been asked to call and confirm after making one online though.
re: alanbarnes
Perhaps you just don't answer your phone and then have to call back from the message they left you?
I call back. It literally takes about 45 seconds, so I don't see the big deal.
Actually, when I have any sort of special dinner (with clients, or a personal special occasion) I call and confirm even if not prompted to, just to try to alleviate any issues with an existing reservation.
I don't mind returning the call either, and completely understand the reasoning. The discourtesy of the general public is running rampant now and this is becoming necessary in many areas - for example, almost all my doctors and dentists now call you to confirm the appointment 24-48 hours in advance and if they have to leave a message, they require a call-back to confirm you are actually coming. Too many people not showing up when they're supposed to.
re: rockandroller1
the discourtesy of the general public is running exactly as rampant as it always has, and probably always will. there was no golden age when people were better or worse than they are now
re: Boychucker
"The world is passing through troublous times. The young people of
today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for
parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as
if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is
foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest
and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress."
Peter the Hermit -A.D. 1274
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place
of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their
households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties
at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
attributed to Socrates by Plato
if people were always living by the rules of "proper manners" none of jane austin's books would have had antagonists. the entire genre of manners fiction of the victorian age would not have existed. can you please show me any evidence that people were less discourteous in the past?
re: thew
These are fun quotations, Thew, but these are not evidence that people were no better or worse than they are now. Only that people have made observations about the discourtesy of the younger generation for millennia. This could just as well serve as evidence that we've been heading downhill for some time.
Seriously, though, I am more troubled by the recent studies that have observed a distinct decline in empathy within the past twenty years. This is not a matter of manners, but a something different and still important.
It has nothing to do with you or your plans. It has to do with people who make reservations on phone or on line and then just decide notto show up and don't call the restaurant. Happens all the time.
The OP is right. An increasing number of places call you 48 hours or so before the date to reconfirm. Doesnt matter whether it's originally an online or phone reservation. Proves how much no-shows can impact on the business. I don't blame them at all for calling - it's not a problem.
It's an unfortunate fact of life. Many people just don't show up, so restaurants need to be careful. I just roll with it as it's better than showing up and having them tell me they canceled my res because I didn't "re-confirm" (which is actually just a confirmation of an online booking).
On the other side of this, though, I once planned a major special occasion SURPRISE dinner for my wife and the restaurant called back to re-confirm two days before in spite of my very careful request to email me if they needed anything. OF COURSE my wife took the call. So much for the surprise. Very annoying and disappointing.
re: Midlife
That's why I give them my cell phone number . . . I'm the only one who answers it! ;^)
re: zin1953
Jason.................. I think this was before cell phones. Anyway............. until just a couple months ago we didn't have cell service at our home. I finally talked our carrier into a network extender. Amazing piece of equipment when you need one.
re: Midlife
Ah, yes -- the magical wonders of mini-cell phone towers. The City of Berkeley won't let anyone build more cell sites, and as a result, cell service in the Berkeley Hills *sucks* -- but not with that mini-tower! ;^)
I mostly have a "screw you" response.
If you don't trust a system, stop using the system. If a restaurant has a double confirmation system for its reservations, the first step shouldn't even be used. If you only trust a phone, then stick with a phone-only system.
re: ediblover
If you make a reservation -- EITHER online OR by telephone -- 2-4 weeks or more in advance, MOST places will call you 24-48 hours in advance to confirm . . . it has nothing to do with trusting a "phone-only" system . . . .
re: zin1953
Want to confirm a phone reservation? Call me.
Want to confirm an online reservation? Send me an e-mail.
Call up the webmaster and put in a confirmation check box of contact preference (phone, text message, etc.) and stop annoying me.
re: ediblover
That's a very good idea ediblover.
re: Breadcrumbs
no, it really isn't. emails are easily ignored
re: Atahualpa
Roaming and long distance fees? What is this, 1992?
re: alanbarnes
Huh? Are cellular plans that much cheaper in the US that this isn't an issue? One call in NYC cost me nearly $9 last summer and it was under 4 minutes.
re: Atahualpa
Ouch! Virtually all cellular plans in the US are nationwide. No long distance, no roaming. You do tend to get hosed whenever you cross an international border, though.
re: alanbarnes
Well . . . UNLESS you have international roaming and/or international data . . . . I find I can add these as necessary, and then subtract them when no longer needed.
re: ediblover
If emails resulted in prompt confirmations, restaurants would be using them already. They're quicker, easier, and cheaper than confirmation phone calls. Problem is, emails don't work.
Seriously, is taking a 20-second confirmation phone call really a major annoyance or an undue burden? If so, you must lead a very sheltered life.
re: alanbarnes
Don't see why you couldn't have an email option like this: The restaurant calls you to reconfirm. If you pick up the phone, the conversation is over in 10-15 seconds and you're done. If you don't pick up the phone, the restaurant leaves you a message urging you to reconfirm either by email or phone. It simultaneously sends you a similar email message that you can easily reply to in order to reconfirm your reservation. Now the choice is yours. If you want to reconfirm by email you can do so with a few keystrokes and it will probably save a little bit of time and money for both you and the restaurant.
re: nocharge
I like that idea. It sounds like a reasonable compromise.
re: ediblover
It's not a matter of the system failing, it's people that fail to show up for reservations. We deal in life with all sorts of policies that are implimented due to the bad apples spoiling the bunch. Same thing with confiming reservations. It's just a way for a restuarant to maximize it's business and plan as best as possible to give great service to everyone.
In my experience, on a typical night a restuarant will have 10-15% no show rate of non confirmed reservations. Confirmed, day of reservations have a no show rate of about .05%. So it really helps to plan the night if the majority of the reservations are confirmed.
re: timxph
Also consider that you might not get a last minute reservation at a particular restaurant because they are "booked up", yet if the restaurant knew that, say, that extra 10% weren't showing up after all, you might be able to get a table. (Not sure if I explained that clearly.) So the bottom line is that you/we (the dining public) can benefit from a restaurant's re-confirmation policy. It can help you when you're at the other end of the (dining) stick.
re: boredough
boredough - yes, you explained it clearly and I agree. I know that, at the very top end, walk-ins or same-day bookings are as rare as chocolate teapots but, a little further down the scale, they can be worth a punt. If a place knows it has a table just come free, then everyone can benefit. The re-confirm phone call is one of those things that just seems a win-win.
Definitely call back. I am in a service business (not food related) and we have people all the time who do not cancel appointments and are simply no-shows or "oops I meant to call and cancel" when our technician shows up at their house.
Customers are increasingly inconsiderate. If everyone canceled....heck even if most people canceled...when plans changed there would not be a need for such a confirmation. Trust me, it's as annoying (if not more so) to make those calls than it is to receive them.
re: Janet from Richmond
again - are they increasingly inconsiderate? or are they just as spread out along the spectrum of behaviors as they've always been?
re: zin1953
yes. yes i do have doubt.
i think there have always been rude people and polite people. I also think that what entails good manners changes, and what people often decry as a loss of civility really means an inability to update one's mores to the world they live in now.
re: thew
Don't take this the wrong way, but all I can say is, "Good for you!" Perhaps in New York City, the level of rudeness has remained constant -- after all the city has a certain reputation (whether true or not) to maintain.
On the other hand, without delving into a huge philosophical (and off-topic) debate of when and how bad manners transform into social mores, I have seen a significant increase in restaurant no-shows over (approx.) the last 10 years, as have the chefs/GMs/maître d'hôtels with whom I have spoken. (This thread was a conversation at dinner last night.)
You are correct in that -- of course! -- there have always been rude and polite people, but since when has it been "good manners" to make a reservation at a restaurant, and then change your plans without canceling the reservation??? That has *nothing* do do with social mores.
re: zin1953
did i support not calling? i call even if it's just because i'm running a few minutes late. Not calling is rude.
I just do not think, that as a whole, people have changed all that much in the last 50, 100, or 1000 years.
re: zin1953
I'm glad to say that I live in that world as well. People have been complaining about the decline of civilization pretty much since the dawn of civilization.
re: donovt
I don't disagree with that, nor with the fact that people will always find something to complain about -- no matter how great things happen to be . . . but -- sticking to the topic at hand -- every restaurant owner, manager, etc. has complained about an increase in "no-shows," and I've seen it myself, so . . . .
re: zin1953
id be curious to see if the numbers really reflect the perception. im sure there are more cancellations in absolute numbers, because more people are going out to dinner more often than in the past. I wonder if the percentage has actually changed.
or perhaps the margin for profit is thinner, and thus every empty seat stands out more in the perception of those involved. I can think of many reasons for the perception to grow, without actually being correct.
I've received confirmation phone calls from restaurants for reservations I've made online and by phone. If I miss the call I'll call back to confirm if they've requested that in the message. I only make reservations when it's a special occasion or I'm on vacation so I don't want to risk losing the res or having to wait.
It's not just restaurants, I get these requests from doctor's offices, the vet and other types of appointments. In the past, messages would say just to call back if I need to cancel, now they want me to call to confirm either way. I've never missed any appointment with anyone so I don't think it's personal. My vet's office is really getting on my nerves. They will leave messages asking me cofirm an appointment I made by phone the previous day.
Unfortunately, they need to do this confirmation call because they get burned so often by people who make reservations and don't show up. Restaurants can end up with a half empty dining room on what should be a busy night, just because would-be diners don't have the courtesy of calling to cancel. That can literally kill a restaurant, especially one that is just starting, if it happens enough.
I always call to cancel should that need to happen, and don't mind at all calling back to confirm. The only problem I would have is if I showed up and found that they gave away my reservation because I didn't confirm.
It annoys me because I screen my calls and don't pick up unknown #'s. I get that they want to make sure that my plans haven't changed, and it would be unfair of me (and rude) to not call back. But I do like it when the restaurant says that a call back is not necessary.
Just don't put me on hold when I call back to confirm. That pisses me off.
I thought I'd add a story about how restaurants should NOT handle booking confirmations. Around 7 years ago, our friends made a reservation for a Saturday night at The Grocery in Brooklyn. At the time of the booking, they were not told they had to reconfirm. When they got home after a day of chores/shopping, they found a recording from the restaurant that said "Calling to confirm your reservation for tonight. If we don't hear from you by 5pm, we will cancel your reservation." Of course, it was 5:30pm - our friends called The Grocery, quite angry, to complain about this unacceptable treatment, claiming they would have been happy to call had they known of the policy, insisting they find us a table or we would never set foot into their restaurant. The response was something to the effect of "We just got a great review by the NY Times, so we don't need your business." Needless to say, we have never ever considered going to The Grocery, and never will. And on that evening in question, we discovered a wonderful new restaurant in Queens after having to scrounge around for a last minute table on a Saturday night. At least we got lemonade out of those lemons....
Well, a generation ago, it was quite the norm to confirm the night before or midday of for fine dining reservations in the evening. It sorta fell by the wayside for 20-30 years, but it turns out that declining manners (increasing prevalence of no-showing) and the harsh economy have contributed to a revival of the practice. Except they are doing it for you (in the "old" days, no one did it for you, and if you didn't do it, you might show up and find your rezo gone).
As l am an anachronism, l rarely carry a phone. When a res is made at restaurant or Dr office or whatever, l tell them this and to mark me confirmed, l will get to them if l need to cancel, has always worked.
