The government has allocated more than 1 million hectares of land to private companies in the form of economic concessions, many of which were illegal, resulting in forced evictions, lost livelihoods and lost natural resources, a rights activist has said.
“Natural resources, such as forests, mines and rivers play an important role in providing nourishment to millions of Cambodians. If they are mismanaged, it can negatively affect these people’s environment, livelihoods and rights,” said Chhith Sam Ath, director of the NGO Forum on Cambodia.
He said economic land concessions also frequently resulted in loss of farmland and loss of food security for the rural poor and ethnic minorities.
Thun Saray, president of rights group Adhoc, said that according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, 146 private companies had been granted economic concessions.
During the past five years, Adhoc documented more than 100,000 people affected by development projects, he said.
In the first nine months of 2010, Adhoc received 270 complaints related to land rows, which surpasses the 2009 year-end total of 265 complaints

In the year 1980's the CPP sent rural people the deadly K5 Plan. Now the CPP take the rural people's land and give it to the rich and the powerful. People are suffering again and still begging the Chief of K5(HUN SEN)for help.
Wait please, CHam Teu! You know him too little.
And please vote again for the CPP or you will lose more and more!.
The CPP govt and Hun Sen officials forced Khmer citizens to vote form them,if they did not do so, the CPP officials will rob their properties at night or killed them without knowing who was killing.My niece told me on the phone last week.The gansters CPP threatened every election to come.My wife went to visit her parents every two years,when she came back home from Cambodia.The village leaders,communes leaders,district leaders,and hight CPP officials leaders always threatened them.When they got sick,these bad leaders bought giving a cheap cost of piece of land.
