The boycott of Capitol Tours Company is gathering force after 50 civil society groups threw their support behind it on Tuesday, urging the public not to use the company’s service until all charges are dropped against former drivers and union leaders over the violence that flared earlier this month when they were “brutally attacked” during a peaceful protest by about 50 armed tuk-tuk drivers, members of the civil society groups said yesterday.

More people are refusing to use Capitol Tours, said San Chey, executive director of the Affiliated Network for Social Accountability (ANSA) Cambodia. The next step is to broaden the boycott to include foreign tourists, he added.

“We don’t want to have problems that affect the private sector, but we want to see a solution for the former bus drivers,” he said, adding that people who were informed about the case were eager to boycott the company.
