Alleged forced eviction of the residents of the Con Dau village, near Da Nang city, in 23/05/2014
Central Viet Nam. According to the information received, in 2007, the local
government of Da Nang city announced a plan to expropriate the Con Dau village.
The land was leased to a private company to build an eco-resort. Compensation was
poor and the request of the parishioners to be resettled near their church was rejected
twice. By 2013, hundreds of residents had moved under threats and harassment or
after their homes had been forcefully demolished. The company stopped its project
and began selling its land use rights by lots to private buyers. On 7 March 2014, the
local government of Da Nang city gave a deadline to a remaining hundred households
to give up their land and move out by 15 April 2014. Concerns are expressed that the
forced eviction of the residents of Con Dau violates international human rights
standards and seriously disrupts the cultural and religious life of the community.
