Beväpnade styrkor brände ner fattiga bybors hem.

Omkring 300 familjer tvångsvräktes från sina hem i Ta Ken, i Kampotprovinsen, den 17 - 18 november. Vräkningen utfördes av en styrka bestående av cirka 100 soldater, poliser och anställda från Forestry Administration beväpnade med AK47:or och handeldvapen. De brände ned 300 hus i byn och lämnade byborna hemlösa.

Dear Minister,


It has come to my knowledge that 300 poor families from Anlong Krom village was forcibly evicted on the 17-18 November. I am very concerned at the eviction and the destruction of their homes, and urge You to immediately provide emergency relief, including adequate shelter, food, clean water and medical assistance.


I further call on You to proceed with concrete steps to ensure they receive adequate reparation, including adequate alternative accommodation and compensation, and urge You to undertake a full, effective and independent inquiry into the legality of the forced eviction and the violence by members of the mixed force, following which those responsible should be brought to justice.


I finally call on the authorities to end all forced evictions and declare and enforce a moratorium for all mass evictions until legislative and policy measures are in place to ensure that evictions are conducted only in full compliance with international human rights laws and standards.


As a party to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and other international human rights treaties which prohibit forced eviction and related human rights violations, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Cambodia has an obligation to stop forced evictions and to protect the population from forced evictions.


Respectfully and sincerely,

(Namn, adress)
