Sam Rainsy Party to send a letter to World Bank to hold all future funding to Cambodia till solutions are found. Solutions that are acceptable to all residents of the Boeung kak Lake and not fake ones as recently proposed by the government that keeps exposing hundreds of residents to violence and forced evictions.
| Boeung Kak Lake Activist Savagely Beaten by Mob of Police Officers during Forced Eviction Yesterday witnessed the most violent forced eviction of Boeung Kak lake residents to date. Early in the afternoon, a hundred “anti-riot” intervention police officers and Daun Penh district security guards positioned themselves nearby homes of lake residents. Two excavators, protected by the armed group, proceeded in destroying homes of families arbitrarily disqualified from the 12.44 hectares of land given to the remaining lake families. Later in the afternoon, as the excavators were on the move to destroy more houses, lake resident and activist Suong Sophorn was savagely assaulted by a mob of intervention police officers who left him for dead after kicking and beating him with bricks and batons. |
