Borei Keila And The Recurrent Roadblocks…
The Borei Keila community, seeking a solution from the municipal authorities regarding their precarious habitat following their January 2012 eviction, marched to town hall again, following a rather predictable scenario: the community first pours through a roadblock set up by the police and then a roadblock set up by the community in front of the town hall is broken up by the police.
Shuffling, pushing, cursing, beating, it has become common. But today one man was arrested and brought to the police HQ on the outskirts of Phnom Penh. He was handled pretty roughly and even beaten up two or three times by the blue-clad municipal guards once inside the safety of the town hall compound.
