Kandal provincial police have arrested 30 people after a clash with protesters on September 12 over a land dispute at the new Phnom Penh International Airport construction site in Kandal Stung district’s Boeung Khyang commune.
The clash left 13 officers and an unknown number of protesters injured.
Khim Somaly, a representative of more than 300 families locked in the land dispute, said that before the clash about 200 people were there trying to stop the construction company’s machinery from clearing the land that was still under dispute, but about 400 police officers had put up barricades to prevent them from entering, leading to the altercation.
