Land titles denied, villagers in Pursat claim
Student volunteers working as part of the government’s land titling scheme are again being accused of refusing to measure land – this time in Pursat province – because they say those living there have done so illegally, according to villagers. Villagers in Bakan district said the students accused them of living on a social land concession slated for handicapped and retired soldiers. About 300 families have asked rights group Adhoc to intervene; they say they have been living on the land since 2002, and the land concession was only granted in 2011. ... Villagers are threatening to take their case to Prime Minister Hun Sen if provincial officials don’t resolve the dispute.
