Kandal ProvincePOLICE in Kandal province said Monday that they had released 11 villagers who were arrested Sunday after a protest related to a land dispute with a private company. Meanwhile, farmers who have accused the company of making unfounded claims to their rice fields staged two more demonstrations in Kandal Stung district.
Eav Chamreun, the Kandal provincial police chief, said four of the 11 protesters detained after Sunday’s protest – during which 400 villagers blocked off a section of National Road 2 – had been released early Sunday evening after thumbprinting documents stating they would not protest again, and that the other seven had been released Sunday night.
“We asked them to make a contract saying they would not do this again, and accepting the blame for the protest,” he said.
“If they do this again, we will arrest them.”
