SIHANOUKVILLE, 6 March 2013 (The Cambodia Herald) – There weren't any arrests made
during the demolition of homes in the Steung Hav district.
Only houses on disputed land were bulldozed, and they didn't prevent anyone from eating, Sihanoukville authorities told Cambodia Express News (CEN), an affiliate of The Cambodia Herald.
Authorities Wednesday denied accusations that they stopped Mong Rithy, senator, from visiting and bringing food for the people affected.
Noun Bunthol, spokesman for Sihanoukville Provincial Hall, said that even though we had tore down the houses, the Leo Brewery Co. offered them another piece of land to build homes on.
About 100 police officers and several machines had bulldozed around 18 houses on Tuesday following a verdict made by Sihanoukville Provincial Court in 2007.
The area was the dispute between 49 families and Leo Brewery owner Cheam Pen since 2006.
