THE Night which will Stop the Evictions
Wishfull thinking of course…
Metahouse will host a STOP EVICTIONS night on March 10th. Films to be screened include Channel 4’s ‘Cambodia is Selling the Killing Fields’ and ‘A Country for Sale’ by Nana Yuriko (2009, 60 mins).
I will contribute a slideshow (hopefully x sound) which is just a sample of evictions I have witnessed over the last 10 years…
You can see all my eviction stories at length and BIG size on my new website.
A book dummy about Cambodian evictions in .pdf format can be downloaded here (still waiting for a publisher by the way).
CAMBODIA. Phnom Penh. 27/01/2006: Displaced from Rumchek3 camping in park in front of Wat Botum pagoda, trying to obtain their land from the authorities. They were evicted two times by the authorities from land NGO Smiling Disabled People told them was theirs. The 1200ha seemingly were given as a concession to a Malaysian company instead. More than 200 people from various areas of Cambodia were camping in protest at the same time at his same spot.
