A soldier based at Preah Vihear temple said he will leave his post to contest a Phnom Penh Municipal Court decision to seize his property in the capital's Russey Keo district at the end of the month. Captain Kouch Kheang said he sent a letter on December 24 to the prime minister, requesting he overturn the court ruling. "If they enforce the verdict, I will return from Preah Vihear to protect my land. It is very unjust that the court wants to take my land," he said.
