Checking If Anti Corruption Unit Is Corrupt…

The Boeung Kak lake community held a demonstration in front of the Anti Corruption Unit gates regarding their land issue with Mr Lao Mengkhim, Senator, heading the company which obtained a 99 year lease on the 133 hectares of Boeung Kak lake, evicted 3000 families, and just recently sold about 1 hectare to another company (which it is not supposed to do under the lease agreement).

The Boeung Kak case has been dragging on since 2007, and it seems to be far from over. More on this story and on other land issues stories in Cambodia from 2000 on can be found in ‘Quest for Land’, an app for the iPad and for Macs running Mavericks. The app can be bought AT THIS LINK for 8.99$
