The Phnom Penh Post
About 300 villagers from Kandal province locked in land disputes with private companies delivered petitions to embassies in Phnom Penh yesterday, before protesting in front of the provincial hall and calling for Prime Minister Hun Sen to help them.
Villagers told the Post they wanted an end to land disputes caused by companies that had “seized their land”, adding that they would “rather die” than go home without a result.
They said authorities had ignored their pleas for help while the companies had used the court system to have villagers who complained about the acquisitions arrested.
