Two Borei Keila Women in Hospital From Clash
Two residents of the Borei Keila community remained hospitalized Sunday after a Valentine’s Day clash with authorities on Friday that left 19 people injured, a community representative said. Although most of the 19 were only slightly injured, two women were more severely hurt and are still receiving treatment at a local clinic, according to community representative Pich Limkhuon. … The two badly injured women included Hath Sokchenda, 35, who is seven months pregnant and was kicked by authorities and shocked with an electric baton. Chhai Kimhorn, 35, was also kicked by police and lost consciousness, Mr. Limkhuon said. However, Sam Sovann, governor of Prampi Makara district, whose district security guards evicted the villagers along with city riot police, disputed Mr. Limkhuon’s characterization of events, accusing unnamed outsiders of “inciting” Borei Keila residents to throw rocks at police. … Mr. Limkhuon said that Borei Keila residents planned to stage a protest on Wednesday, flouting the city’s ban on public demonstrations to march to Preah Ang Dangker shrine on the riverside carrying a symbolic clod of earth from the disputed area to curse well-connected businesswoman Suy Sophan, whose Phanimex company was granted the land to develop in 2007.
