Eviction of Dey Krohom Residents: A Setback for the Rule of the Law

Categories: Social Justice

Statement by the Cambodia Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights

"We have watched with consternation the sudden and violent eviction of what remained of the Dey Krohom community over the Chinese New Year weekend. After nearly a month of protracted negotiations between the residents, the 7NG Construction company and the Municipality, aimed at finding a mutually agreeable settlement of compensation claims, the company unilaterally withdrew from the discussion and the suspended eviction order was implemented by law-enforcement agencies."
