Allegations concerning the expropriation of land of community members of villages in Ta Ches commune, judicial harassment, intimidation and frequent attacks committed against them as well as denial of access to justice and resolution of their claims. According to the information received, in 2007, KDC International, a local company, purchased 195 hectares of the contested land from local farmers and during the process, allegedly appropriated more than 400 hectares of land belonging to 108 families. In early July 2014, KDC International started constructing a concrete wall around the contested land, separating community homes from their farm land. In response, in July and August 2014, community members, including Messrs. Mang Yav, Seang Heng, Ngoun Nhoeun, Srun Pha, Lao En, Kim Tuthdara, Hong Dara, Phan Sokphana, Kuch Hok and Un Ren attempted to stop the construction of the wall and were arrested by the police and charged with intentional destruction of property and violence. A related communication concerning the convictions of a human rights defender and a community member on charges of defamation was sent on 3 February 2011, see A/HRC/18/51, case no. KHM 1/2011.
