Villagers Seek Premier’s Intervention for Land Titles
Villagers from Battambang province have submitted petitions to Prime Minister Hun Sen asking that land management officials grant them the titles to the land they claim to have lived and worked on for 30 years. Apparently they were previously granted the right to construct homes on the land but now there is some contention as to whether the land is the villagers or not. Adhoc, the human rights group, is seeking to help the villagers get their titles recognized.
