In October this year, police equipment and weapons seized Bos village in Cambodia. They bulldozed and burned villager’s homes destroying all properties. The land was partially owned between the inhabitants of Bos villa and the Angkor Sugar Company.

An appeal was sent on Monday to the regional governor requesting that the 214 people to be given the right to harvest their rice from the 3700 acres of land.

The district governor Thon Nol, claimed he has not received the appeal as yet, but acknowledges that trouble will ensue if these people cannot claim their rice. The sugar company is owned by Ly Yongphat who is also a senator.
