Evictions at Dey Krahorm in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

On 24 January 2009 the 7NG Construction company forcibly evicted 152 families from Dey Krahorm, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. 

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited 7NG to respond to the following articles about the eviction but it has not yet done so.  If we receive a response we will include it here. (Note: The first two articles do include some comments by 7NG Chairman Srey Sothea).
