សិទ្ធិមនុស្ស និងសិទ្ធិដីធ្លី

The systemic lack of protection of human rights in Cambodia arises from long-standing impunity for human rights violations, very serious shortcomings in the rule of law and slow legal and judicial reform, with dramatic setbacks in press freedom, misuse of the judiciary to silence government critics, and imposition of strict new restrictions on peaceful protests. In a major step backwards, a new law on demonstrations passed in October 2009 bans public protests of more than 200 people, citing the need to safeguard “public order and security.” It also requires protest organizers to seek advance permission and bans protests in front of or inside government buildings and factories.

On June 28, 2011 ADHOC staff observed the protest in front of the EU office organized by 300 protesters of Bk residents.
The demonstration started on Friday June 24th and still continues on today.
The demonstrators representing 07 villages wanted to give a petition to the President of the European Unions (EU) claiming for a flat on the ground with the size of 4m×16m as a trade off for those who have small plot of land or small house.
