In early September 2012, 64-year-old Tim Sakmony was called to see tycoon Suy Sophan. Suy Sophan is the owner of Phanimex, the company responsible for forc-ibly evicting Tim Sakmony’s family from their home in Borei Keila and destroying all their belongings.

Suy Sophan had an offer for Tim Sakmony’s son: $1,000 in compensation and a small house at Toul Sambo relocation site, 25 km from Phnom Penh. He refused the offer. A few days later Tim Sakmony was arrested.
