Media Album | Communities Celebrate World Habitat Day Across Cambodia

16 October 2024

More than 500 people in 13 land communities held celebrations from 6 to 15 October to mark World Habitat Day, despite local officials trying to block or prevent some of the events. Land communities from Kampong Speu, Koh Kong, Kampot, Banteay Meanchey, and Kampong Chhnang provinces organised public events, spoke out for their land rights, and discussed how violations threaten their livelihoods and families.

Among them were representatives from the Amleang community in Kampong Speu, which discussed their fight to defend their land after it was grabbed by Phnom Penh Sugar Company. In Trapeang Chor, the community similarly highlighted their fight for land rights amidst forced evictions linked to sugarcane plantations under the theme “Farmers Protecting Land Rights and Environmental Justice.”

Article | Repeat Defenders: Cambodian Activists Imprisoned More Than Once

24 June 2024

A wave of arrests this year has ensnared a number of activists who had previously been jailed in Cambodia’s notorious prisons, and re-engaged in their activism upon their release. This has led to a growing number of “repeat defenders” – human rights defenders and political activists who are currently serving a second or third prison sentence due to their peaceful activism.
