Alleged forced eviction of families from the Borei Keila community in Phnom
Penh. According to the information received, on 3 January 2012, state and private
security forces, violently and forcibly evicted around 300 families living in Borei
Keila and reportedly destroyed their homes. On 11 January 2012 and on 2 February
2012, law enforcement officials allegedly arbitrarily detained a number of women,
children and other residents who were peacefully protesting against their forced
eviction. Reportedly, a number of residents had only been released after having
accepted relocation to resettlement sites lacking to date basic services, potable water
and sanitation services. These sites are reported not to conform to international
standards on adequate housing. Since then about 600 persons were relocated, the
majority are reportedly women and children as well as families living with
HIV/AIDS who also suffer from tuberculosis and other diseases with no adequate
access to medical care at those relocation sites.
