Government Forms Commission to Evict Families Near Airport
Deputy Prime Minister Sok An yesterday approved the creation of a joint commission which will undertake the role of evicting hundreds of families living near the Phnom Penh International Airport before the Asean and East Asia summits commence next month. … Mr. Sath [Choam Chao commune chief] said that no exact date has been set for the eviction and declined to elaborate on what else was discussed with Mr. An during the meeting at the Council of Ministers. Representatives of the 387 families from Choam Chao’s Prey Chisak, Thmar Kaul and Kauk Chambak villages were in tears yesterday after learning about the imminent eviction.
