Ratanakkiri provincial court issued a summons for three ethnic Tumpoun minority residents of Bakeo district’s Paor village, to appear at a hearing related to a private company’s accusations that they had illegally seized 100 hectares of their land.
The summons was sent on Wednesday to Long Lorn, a lawyer for local rights group Adhoc, which represents the codefendants Rorch Phoen, Horn Ror and Kvas Ti, requesting their presence in a civil case in provincial court on March 22, which Long Lorn confirmed they would attend.
“We will prepare some documents and witnesses to explain [our position] in court,” he said.
Horn Ror, a representative for the Tumpoun ethnic villagers in Paor village, said yesterday that although the case is in dispute, the Ly Sokim Company continues to clear villager’s cashew plantations and hopes the upcoming hearing will act as “a positive sign” in finding justice for the villagers, whose land he claimed the company has encroached on since 2007.
It is not known what the company intends to do with the land concession it purchased in 2007 in the Loe Horn village of Keh Chung commune, eight kilometres from Paor village.
Yet in March of last year, the company filed a complaint to the court that more than 100 hectares of land they had bought from Loe Horn villagers was occupied by Paor villagers developing cashew
plantations.
“The company bought over 100 hectares from Loe Horn villagers, but it got confused about the land and [cleared land] in Paor village, filing a complaint against the villagers for growing plantations,” Horn Ror said.
Pen Bonnar, provincial coordinator for Adhoc, said yesterday that research into the disputed land shows that it is under the control of the Paor village, which authorities have legally recognised.
“The representing company bought land legally but the letter is contrary to the law because this is the community’s land and no one has the right to buy or sell it,” he said.
The Ly Sokim Company could not be reached for comment.

Hun Sen never cares about Cambodian
people since he came prime minister
Cambodians knew Hun Sen pretty well
in the last 26 years in power.
They knew who Hun Sen was/is!
This BULLDOG never kept his an eye
on his own people.What he is
looking on are Vietnamese illegal
residents,power and money.
These Viet residents voted for him
every 5 years.
Sam Rainsy,did Khmer love him?
.Why did Sam Rainsy Party
lose the election? Because
the Hun Sen votes were fraud;he cheated,bribed,and threatened to win.
let me know if you need gun and weapon shit like that in PP.

គឺគេឃើញតែការឈ្លោះប្រកែកគ្នាដណ្ដើមដីធ្លីមិន
ចេះចប់។
ព្រោះថាហេតុការទាំងនេះកើតឡើង គឺដោយសារថា
អ្នកមានអំណាចនិងមានលុយ ពួកគេបានស្វាត់ស្វែង
រកទិញដីធ្លី ឬ ស៊ីសស៊ូសជាមួយអ្នកធំ ដោយកេងបន្លំយកដីរដ្ឋមកធ្វើ ជាកម្មសិទ្ធ
ផ្តាល់ខ្លួន ដោយសង្ឃឹមថា នៅពេលដែលដីមានតម្លៃខ្ពស់ គឺពួកគេនឹងអាចលក់
ចេញបានចំណេញច្រើន ៕
