On 2 January 2014, human rights defender Vorn Pov, President of the Independent Democracy of Informal Economy Association (IDEA), and Theng Savuen from the Coalition of Cambodian Farmer Community (CCFC) along with eight workers and five monks were arrested by the Military Special Command Unit 911 while protesting outside of the Yak Jin Factory, off of National Road 4 in Phnom Penh. They had been calling for a higher increase in the minimum wage for garment factory workers. The arrest took place as the police was seen violently trying to disband a peaceful protest, beating protesters. Vorn Pov was seen to have received a blow to the head. The five monks were released late on the night of 2 January, but the 10 others remained detained.
