Protest of Kbal Trach villagers against Pheapimex Company
Dear All:
Attached are the pictures of about 300
villagers from Kbal Trach commune, Krakor District of Pursat
doing a protest in front of Pheapimex company to stop the company
bulldozers from clearing their land this morning (03-04-12). The
villagers demanded the company stop the clearance and demarcate the land
where the company would take, and making sure their land is not
affected. They also asked the authority to establish a social land
concession program for most of them having no land and not enough land
for farming.
No company reps came for any
talk to the villagers.
The commune chief of Kbal Trach
commune (Duong Sarin 012 480 609) who was also there for his support for
peaceful resolution from the company intervened he had just suggested
to the Krakor district governor to arrange another discussion between
the company and villagers in the next two days.
The villagers were back home at
around 02:00 p.m. in their hope to meet with the company again in the
next two days under the facilitation of the district government.
