Borei Keila and Boeung Kak are very busy
It was a busy day in front of the Municipality this tuesday. The evicted residents from Borei Keila came to denounce the living conditions they are in since their homes were rased on January 3rd. Riot police closed in and arrested 6 people, several of them having already forcibly spent time in the Prey Speu ‘Rehabilitation Center’ (and escaped).
In the afternoon the residents from Boeung Kak Lake came at the same spot in front of the Municipality building to protest the fact that many of them still haven’t received their land title in the 12,44 Ha set aside for an on-site development. Again the police moved in, but it was not successfull in arresting protesters and turned back once the protesters retreated to the street leading to their village.
