Original report from Phnom Penh
12/06/2007
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy has appealed to Prime Minister Hun Sen to aid the 1,500 families evicted by a recent development project in Phnom Penh.
The families were kicked out of the 'Sparrow's Nest' neighborhood, a tangle of shanties and makeshift homes along the Tonle Sap River in Phnom Penh, and removed to a remote site outside the capital, far from work, clean water and schools.
Phnom Penh authorities said Sam Rainsy was circumventing them for political gain by going to the prime minister.

To PM of Cambodia.
It should be provide the Peace, justice and freedom to khmer people. Because they suffered for many decate that cause by civil war, In the Pol Pot regime they escaped people from city to the far mbut now it difference to Pol Pot regime. The government officials must work to serve to the people they couldn't work to serve their family and their boos.
In the named ot khmer people i happy to Sam RaingSy members that spent their time to solve the problem for people and especially they work follow to their roles and responsibility.
I hope that the PM will be change in the next mandate for Cambodia.
Without Mr. Sam Rainsey, our own people will be just another victim of another regime. No one in the current government would give a damm. It just like during the Pol Pot Era. We were dead one by one, but who cares? So? Everyone looked the other way hoping that it will dissappear on its own. It doesn't. Thanks God Mr. Sam Rainsey was there.
