Since 2005, the area of Dey Krahorm in Phnom Penh Cambodia has resisted violence and intimidation in order to keep from being forcibly evicted by the 7NG company.
Forced eviction is one of the most widespread and systematic human rights violations occurring in Cambodia today. Despite legal protections, at least 30,000 residents of the capital city Phnom Penh have been forcibly evicted, and approximately 150,000 Cambodians throughout the country are at risk of forced eviction.
