Forced evictions and home demolitions in the coastal town of Sihanoukville that took place on 20 April 2007. Police forcibly evicted 117 families from the community of Mittapheap 4, in the coastal town of Sihanoukville, following a protracted land dispute which came into the open in 2006 when a complaint was filed with the Mittapheap 4 commune chief, claiming the villagers were “illegal squatters”. Reports also indicate that on the day of the eviction, the community was surrounded by armed security forces. Violent clashes between the police and members of the community followed with the police firing live ammunition in the air and into the ground, beating people with electric batons and dispersing them using a water cannon, while some villagers defended themselves with machetes, bottles and barbed wire. This resulted in the injury of several people on both sides, including that of a 77-year-old man who is still in hospital. It is reported that 13 of the villagers were subsequently arrested by police, beaten during interrogation, and then taken to Sihanoukville Prison. The detainees have been charged under the UNTAC (United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia) law, which is still in force, with "battery with injury" (Article 41) and "wrongful damage to property" (Article 52). On 2 May 2007, one of the detainees, a 16-year-old fisherman, was released on bail, while the 12 others were denied bail. Over 100 homes were destroyed during the evictions that took place on 20 April, Government response
