ABOUT 60 people from communities surrounding the city’s Boeung Kak lake gathered in front of Prime Minister Hun Sen’s house in central Phnom Penh on Wednesday morning to demand titles for land they say they are likely to lose to a planned real estate development project.
Villager Seav Kheng said the residents had decided to protest in response to maps released February 26 by Chhay Rithy Sen, the municipal director of land management, showing that their properties are set to be impacted by the controversial project.

Residents of communities surrounding the city’s Boeung Kak lake argue with police after being moved away from Prime Minister Hun Sen’s house near the Independence Monument on Wednesday. The villagers, who face displacement by a controversial development project, were calling on the premier to recognise their claims to land titles.
