Ok today i want to highlight the plight of certain Cambodians in Dey krahorm (Phnom Penh.) The entire village was forcefully evicted from thier land to make way for construction. These villagers stood up for their rights, their homes and their livelyhoods (markets and stalls were destroyed as well) but were attacked and maliciously forced to abandon thier community. 

A corporation called 7NG is responsible due to their expansion and business development.

Below is the report, images and video of January 24th 2009.

Published on February 8, 2009 In the early morning hours of Saturday January 24, 2009 approximately 500 demolition workers escorted by 300 mixed police in full riot gear surrounded the community of Dey Krahorm. Their mission, to forcibly evict the approximately 400 families that were living on the disputed land in the heart of Phnom Penh. 

At 6am the police armed with electric and steel batons, wooden sticks, tear gas, water cannons and guns moved towards the remaining Dey Khrahorm families who had erected barricades and stood defiantly in front of their houses. The police were able to brake through the villagers' lines and disburse them with the use of tear gas, water cannons and rubber projectiles.

I am deeply sadden and horrified by the nerve of a single Coperation coupled with Police literrally kicking human beings from their homes. My heart goes out to these folks and i am embedding a video here as a tribute to this Freedom fighters.

This is why pathway was created, to arm oursleves and support each other, so this atrocities can be curbed and maybe even stopped completely. The fight is on...

Please watch the video.

With love.
Lets kick ass.
