| Forced eviction in Dey Karhorm - A photo by John Vink/Magnum |
ABC Radio Australia
A teenage girl was shot dead last week in her own home as part of a land dispute in Cambodia's Kratie village.
Last month, environmental activist Chut Wutty was killed while investigating illegal logging.
But this is barely scratching the surface when it comes to conflict over land in Cambodia, where land grabbing, both urban and rural, is rife
Local human rights group Licadho says in Phnom Penh and the 12 provinces in which it works, more than 400,000 people have been affected by land-grabbing and evictions in the last 10 years and the pace of the displacements has not decreased.
The human rights crisis has inspired Phnom-Penh-based photographer John Vink - and member of the renowned agency Magnum Photos - to come up with an innovative way to highlight the problem.

The land grabbers are mostly foreigners, illegal Yuon/Vietnamese animals of CPP (Ah Kwuck Hun Sen's Vietnamese advisers and masters of Hanoi) who have done the illegal businesses with foreign investors such as Chinese, Russian, and other lawless or corrupted countries. They stole the lands, properties or farming land and forests from Cambodia Khmer folks who are the real owners of Khmer/Cambodian land and properties (including Khmer public lands as well for all Khmer people).
