Police and security guards for the Phnom Penh Sugar Co, Ltd, bulldozed one house in Kampong Speu province Monday, but a rights worker said he expects at least 20 more families to be pushed from their homes in coming days.
No one was injured in Monday morning’s demolition, which was part of an ongoing land dispute in Thpong district’s Omlieng commune. At least two local police and three security guards for the company accompanied the bulldozer, witnesses said.
“My house was completely destroyed without warning from the company, demolished this morning,” said Nut Sary, 35, a mother of two children whose husband is a motorcycle taxi driver in Phnom Penh. “I bought this land in 2000 and also have proper documents. The company said my house was illegal. The company has abused my rights for living.”
