Around 20 Boeung Kak lakeside residents participated in a protest at Phnom Penh’s “Freedom Park” yesterday, demanding compensation for the destruction of their homes. Chan Puthisak, one of the protesters, said that authorities’ unresponsiveness left them no choice but to take to the streets. “We are staging the protest because we have lost hope that anyone will help us,” he said. Residents claim that developer Shukaku Inc has refused to pay them full compensation and that authorities have barred them from rebuilding their homes on the site. En Saphan, deputy chief of Srah Chak commune in Daun Penh district, said on Sunday that she had asked the residents to wait a little longer for City Hall to resolve the issue.
