Land disputes in Siem Reap
More than 1,000 families from four districts in Siem Reap province involved in ongoing land disputes released a joint statement on Friday asking for intervention from government officials. Villagers involved in six separate land disputes with various private companies in four districts claim a total of 3,138 hectares of land has been taken from them since 2003, according to the statement. On August 26, Prime Minister Hun Sen warned that economic land concessions would be withdrawn if the companies they were granted to failed to solve land disputes with villagers who had lived in their concession area for “a long time”.
