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.
