More than 20 years after the end of Cambodia's civil war, another battle is being waged on the country's streets - over land.

Local human rights groups say the government has allocated around four million hectares to businesses for redevelopment, affecting 400,000 people - many of whom have been evicted. 

In 2012, more than 200 people were arrested during protests over land. 

The BBC's Jonathan Head spoke to some of the people in the capital Phnom Penh fighting for their homes.

Your crooks regime love to defame and frame our innocent khmers, that is all. you did it before to all of the khmer activists, journalists and other educated ones like Madam Mu, Mam Sonando etc and you continue to this again and again. She did not attack no one and if she does, isn't it right to fight for her right though? because if someone tried to steal your property wouldn't you do the same? So, we don't buy your accusation no more, enough is enough. I am sure, everything will come with time and soon will catch up with your crook members oneday to come. For now, I just wait and see. Oh, and I can't wait for Aust to take your crook leader HS to court for corruption (with HBP). He accused our innocents and now, who will accuse him? what goes around will come around, right? hahaha bloodsuckers!

Your Khmers are mostly evils and are anti-God, and why are you relying on God's people to decide your Fate/Destiny?

What does anyone expect the Khmers suppose to do or act? That's their real Buddhist culture for 800 years.
They cry for helps from GOD's people, and run to live in GOD's people lands, but they always bite and attack GOD.

They don't even admit that their Buddhism Cult destroyed the Khmer Empire, what more do the world want to know about the Khmers's deceptive?
