I write regarding Cambodia Daily article on the violent standoff over an economic land concession in Kompong Thom province (K. Thom Villagers Torch Vehicles, Vent Rage Over Land Dispute, Wednesday November 18, 2009). Although LICADHO condemns any use of violence in defending legal rights to land, this incident does raise two critical questions regarding the government’s conduct.
