A long land disputes between two related-families in Phnom Penh have resulted in the violent arrests of the losing party who refused to abide by the court verdict because they say it's very unjust, reports Deum Ampil.
According to reports, the land disputes between Mrs. Leng Sophal, 35 and Pak Phally, 33 centred on a plot of lands in Reussey Keo district which saw Mrs. Leng Phally and her sibblings being violently evicted by about 50 policemen and court officials.
Mrs. Leng Sok Heng and her siblings were manhandled by police during the violent eviction on 27th May, 2009.
Mrs. Leng Sok Heng, 42 said that she and her sister Leng Sophal had moved to live in the plot of the disputed land measuring 16.60 m by 13.70 m since 1983. She said that in 1994, Pak Phally bought a plot of land behind her house. 5-6 years later he asked to buy her land for $3000-4000 but she refused to sell. Later he offered to pay $30,000 but she again refused the offer. At this point she claims that Pak Phally staked a claim to the ownership of the land by lodging a legal complaint against her and her sisters to take their land. According to the sisters, because Pak Phally is rich, he had bribed the judges with a large substantial sum of money and he won the case and the violent eviction followed suit, reports Koh Santepheap.
On the other hand, Pak Phally claimed that Mrs. Leng Sok Heng and her sisters had illegally lived on a block of land he legally owned since 1996. He took legal action against them in 1997 and won, but the sisters refused to vacate the lands until now that the court began to implement its verdict by evicting Mrs. Leng Sok Heng and her sisters.
According to media reports, the two sides of the legal battle are related to each other.
Mrs. Leng Sok Heng and her sisters are appealing to Prime Minister Hun Sen to intervene in their case because they said that corrupt judge and court officials have connived with Mr. Pak Phally to lake their land which they rightfully owned since 1983.

Justice denied and justice corrupted. The rich and powerful get their "justice" at the expense of the poor and the weak. This is "justice" in Cambodia the Cambodian way.
