Five Hundred Thousand Plus One…
A new report by human rights NGO LICADHO states that half a million people in just 13 provinces in Cambodia were affected by land issues since the year 2000 (see the report HERE). Also see ‘Quest for Land’, an app for the iPad, which gives an overview of land issues since 2000. You can download the app HERE.
Make that half a million plus one: opposition CNRP lawmaker Mu Sochua was evicted by municipal security guards for the second time in two days from ‘Freedom Place’ where public gatherings are prohibited since early January.
And on this same morning evicted communities, or soon-to-be-evicted communities from Phnom Penh gathered yet again in front of City Hall to meet with the authorities regarding a resolution of their land issues.
