@angkortimes: Thai soldiers in black uniform brutally assaulted, beat Cambodians and raped an 18-year-old female worker. How Should the World Respond to This Border Tragedy? In mid-November 2025, along the Cambodia–Thailand border, a group of 13 Cambodian migrant workers attempted to return home. What happened next shocked the nation. Thai soldiers in black uniform brutally assaulted them—beating several and raping an 18-year-old female worker. Cambodia’s Ministry of Labour immediately condemned the attack as a grave violation of human rights and international labour standards. Officials moved fast, coordinating with authorities, offering legal and psychological support to the victims, and urging global organisations like the ILO, IOM, OHCHR, and UN Women to closely monitor the case and demand a transparent investigation from Thailand. Within days, 216 unions, associations, and civil society groups united in a rare, powerful coalition, issuing a statement denouncing the rape and warning of systemic risks faced by Cambodian female migrant workers. Their message was clear: this was not just an isolated act, it was part of a larger pattern threatening vulnerable workers across the region. The Cambodian Human Rights Committee deepened the alarm, pointing to ongoing violence, discrimination, and even cross-border attacks. It condemned the brutal gang-rape, demanded immediate justice, and called on the international community to pressure Thailand to uphold its obligations under international law. As Cambodia reaffirms its commitment to humanity, peace, and legal accountability, one question remains: Will the world stand with the victims and demand justice? Justice for the young Khmer woman who reports that seven Thai soldiers in black uniforms raped her as a group. Please, world, stand up for justice for her. Cambodian authorities are investigating a rape complaint which was filed by an 18-year-old returning migrant worker. She alleges that she was raped by a group of Thai soldiers in black uniforms as she and a group of workers crossed the border into Cambodia on the night of November 15.
