At least 200 people in Banthey Meanchey province’s Malay district protested in front of the provincial cabinet Tuesday, urging the governor to resolve a land dispute.
Protesters say 775 hectares of land have been taken by district police, affecting more than 300 families.
Malay District Police Chief Mei Samorn said the land belongs to the police.
“If the people need this land, they must pay for police,” he said.
