Confrontation betwen Boeung Kak Lake residents and security force in front of Hun Xen's mansion

Cambodian security officials push Boeung Kak Lake's villagers during a protest near Prime Minister Hun Sen's house in Phnom Penh August 23, 2010. About 100 people from the village on Monday protested against local real estate developer Shukaku Inc. over unfair compensation. The firm has been filling in the lake with sand causing frequent floods at the residents' homes, which prompted the protest. The remaining residents complained of unfair compensation given to them when asked to move out. REUTERS/Chor Sokunthea
