More than 700 land activists from the capital, Preah Sihanouk, Svay Rieng, Tbong Khmum, Preah Vihear and Kandal provinces gathered on Tuesday at Freedom Park in Phnom Penh’s Russey Keo district to deliver petitions seeking solutions to their longstanding land disputes.
The activists said they intended to submit their petitions to the justice, agriculture and land management ministries, the National Assembly and the newly established joint committee at Prime Minister Hun Sen’s residence, but were rounded up by authorities and made to gather at the park.
They said some other activists who had initially joined them were stopped halfway and paid to return home. Journalists, civil society groups and UN officials were also barred from attending the gathering.
You Veasna, who represents communities locked in land disputes in Preah Sihanouk province, said such issues are omnipresent. He urged the authorities to seek solutions for villagers instead of trading blame.
“[Minister of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction] Chea Sophara has the real will to solve problems, but other officials do the opposite. They just point fingers at each other and push us around.
“Some officials, for instance, refer us to a certain institution but officials at that institution refer us to other places for a solution. Eventually, there is no compromise. It’s a shame that the government employs such officials,” he said.
Veasna alleged that long-running land disputes are left unsolved because the relevant authorities were afraid of well-connected businesspeople. He said the practice had taken a toll on the villagers’ livelihood.
Lim Sophy, a community representative from Koh Kong province, urged the authorities to release land activists who have been imprisoned over disputes. She also appealed for an immediate end to intimidation and threats against protesters through the judicial system.
“Government officials are not willing to solve land disputes. They always point fingers and keep saying they are investigating. I’ve heard that for nearly 10 years and they still haven’t wrapped up their investigation!” she exclaimed.
Rights group Adhoc spokesman Soeung Sen Karuna said on Tuesday that authorities at sub-national level seem unable to find speedy solutions because some land disputes involved well-connected companies and individuals who grabbed the people’s land without proper compensation.
“Companies backed by powerful people make it hard for those with no power to seek justice and solutions. In the past, such firms even paid government officials to suppress the people. The law doesn’t seem to be very effective,” he said.
On October 16, Hun Sen created a joint committee to accept land dispute-related complaints and petitions at his residence in Phnom Penh and in Kandal province’s Takhmao city.
Royal Cambodian Armed Forces deputy commander and commander of Hun Sen’s Bodyguard Unit, Hing Bun Heang, was appointed to head the committee.
He told The Post on Tuesday that he was aware of the protesters’ gathering and is reviewing their petitions.
That’s what Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong told the Bloomberg New Economy Forum on Tuesday evening, just days before a summit of the 10-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) that will include its key global partners including the US and China.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, US Vice-President Mike Pence and Russian President Vladimir Putin are among the world leaders who will attend the meeting, which begins on Monday.
Asean has long been mocked for lacking a united front and some of its members have a reputation for putting their ties with major powers ahead of their obligations to partners in the bloc.
In particular, Cambodia and Laos have often been accused of doing Beijing’s bidding.

China’s economic slowdown is affecting its neighbours since the mainland is their top trading partners. The list includes Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia. However, Vietnam, Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Cambodia are replacing China as export hubs with many Chinese companies delocalising to bypass US tariffs. In the first nine months of the year, Cambodia's exports to the United States grew by 27 per cent.
Hong Kong (AsiaNews) – As the trade war between Beijing and Washington continues, other Asian countries are trying to figure out its repercussions on their economies.
Some have been negatively affected by China’s economic slowdown. At the end of October, some PMI indices (which measure economic growth in various sectors) showed a drop in manufacturing activity in Taiwan, Malaysia and Thailand. Even in South Korea, business confidence fell to its lowest level in two years. The reason for this is that China is their main trading partner.
For months the US-China trade war has penalised Chinese exports to the United States and vice versa. Many components of Chinese products come from neighbouring countries. Fewer Made in China exports means less business for suppliers.

Hundreds of Cambodian villagers trying to submit petitions over land disputes were blocked from approaching government offices and the residence of Prime Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday, with some ordered into minivans to be taken back to their home provinces, sources said.
One group, consisting of about 300 villagers from Sihanoukville, Svay Rieng, and Tboung Khmum and Kandal provinces, had attempted to march to government ministries but were stopped and surrounded by security forces, who ordered them home.
Over a hundred were left behind after refusing to leave Phnom Penh, sources said.
In a statement, Council of Ministers spokesman Phay Siphan said that the petitioners had timed their presence in the city to coincide with the visit of U.N. Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Cambodia Rhona Smith.
“I have observed that this is a movement. When Rhona Smith visits, they always provoke problems,” Phay Siphan said.
Meanwhile, Theng Savoeun—secretary general of the Coalition of Cambodian Farmers Community—said after observing the protests that the villagers had come to Phnom Penh because appeals to local authorities had brought no result.
30 Years of Hun Sen
Violence, Repression, and Corruption in Cambodia
On January 14, 2015, Hun Sen will have served as prime minister of Cambodia for 30 years. He joins an exclusive club of men now in power who, through politically motivated violence, control of the security forces, manipulated elections, massive corruption, and the tacit support of foreign powers, have been able to remain in power well beyond the time any leader in a genuinely democratic political system has ever served. Hun Sen ranks as the sixth longest-serving political leader in the world today.
Inside the Hun family's business empire
A scathing new report by Global Witness details the vast holdings of the Hun Sen clan.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen’s family has amassed a “vast fortune”, with stakes in at least 114 domestic companies spanning most of the Kingdom’s key sectors, including major energy, telecoms, mining and trading firms, according to an investigation by Global Witness, which accuses the Hun family of flouting the country’s laws to build a business “empire”.
