Borei Keila Evictees Protest Delayed Court Hearing
About 20 former residents for the Borei Keila community protested outside the Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday after a judge delayed a hearing regarding their land dispute with the powerful Phanimex company, a lawyer for the residents said. The residents filed a complaint against Phanimex earlier this month after the company failed to provide them with new housing they had been promised following the violent eviction of 120 families on Jan. 3. … The judge has postponed the hearing until May 17, when Phanimex will have a lawyer.
