39 More Land Titles Please…
Boeung Kak lake members staged a protest in front of City Hall, requesting that the 39 last families finally receive the land title they were promised in a conflict which started in 2007, when the lake they were living next to was granted as a concession to a developing company which filled the lake and evicted over 3000 from the 4000 families living on its shores. The protesters were rather gently pushed on the side by the helmeted security guards.
