Three villagers have been arrested in Kampong Thom province on Wednesday in a chronic land dispute and some others are being pursued by provincial authority, officials and villagers said.
“We are interrogating the three men for more arrests of those involved before sending the case to court,” Kampong Thom provincial police chief, Phan Sopheng, said.
More than 1,000 families live on the land that is now part of an 8,000-hectare land concession belonging to the Vietnamese Tin Bien company.
As a result of the dispute, some property belonging to the company, including two bulldozers, an excavator, and a generator, were burned when violence erupted Monday. Nine residents were also wounded.
Land disputes are on the rise in Cambodia. In 2008, a human rights group Adhoc documented 306 cases with 150 people arrested.

Under the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime, no criminals that has been committed crimes against journalists, political opponents, leaders of the Free Trade Union, innocent men, women and children have ever been brought to justice.
Sam Rainsy is truly a Khmer hero who willing to risk his own life for his own people and to protect his own country. On the other hand, Hun Sen and his CPP are truly Vietnam pupet who punish his own people to please his boss (Viet leader). Hun Sen is not working for Khmer and not to protect Khmer land. Under Hun Sen, Khmer land will vanish piece by piece and before you know it, it is gone for good.
But Sam Rainsy won't let that happen. Thats why, he did for all Khmer. We all SHOULD JOIN SAM RAINSY to do just that.
My God bless Sam Rainsy, our hero!

Why Sam Rainsy took the laws into his own hands? It looks so stupid for an educated leader like him to do shit like that on the border issues with Vietnam.
Sam Rainsy is not a border committee authority. why he done over head his position? Maybe he try to win election in 2013? or just to make khmer look at him as Hero?
The real Hero only the one who liberated khmer on January 7th 1979, but, not form France, Canada, Swiss, Norway or USA.
Ah 8:23 Ah cut and paste! Ah Khbot Cheat!
If there are khmer fathers who sell their daughter to be a prostitute, there are also leaders who sell khmer land, who sell khmer life, who sell khmer territories to foreigners. This can happen because by complacency khmers allow it to happen. So stop wailing and crying. Now wake up and cry out to God for help and overthrow khmer current leaders, and ask God to raise up a godly ones.
All the true patriotic khmers are dead. Only traitors exist now.
ANY of u think u can run the country better come out n play, stop being a coward behind ur PC. see what the real world looks like u idiots
