Nike to investigate clash at Cambodian garment factory

Three people faint in suppression when authorities use firefighting trucks to spray water at the protestors who have gathered in front of Phnom Penh City Hall to call for more compensation or a return of land given by the government to a Chinese company for a commercial development.

A garment factory protest that turned violent in Cambodia has left at least 23 workers injured.
As the New York Times reports, the factory makes clothing for Nike and workers have been protesting since last week for additional pay. Police intervened Monday to end the protest.
A Nike spokesperson told the paper it is investigating the incident.
In an effort to protect workers' rights, Nike has spent decades refining the policies that regulate the overseas factories that make its products. It has attempted to address concerns with initiatives that involve increased monitoring of overseas partners and avoiding partners in what Nike deems "high-risk countries."
