In letter to City Hall, National Assembly president says help is needed, makes no specific demands to developer 7NG.
National Assembly President Heng Samrin urged the municipality Tuesday to intervene in the bitter dispute between families forcibly removed Saturday from Phnom Penh's Dey Krahorm neighbourhood and private developer 7NG. He made no specific demands, however.
Evicted residents had submitted a complaint to the influential ruling party official Monday, asking for cash compensation to be reinstituted.
"Residents said that on January 24, the 7NG company and municipality demolished and bulldozed their houses without proper compensation," Heng Samrin said in a letter delivered to City Hall, a copy of which was obtained by the Post. "Please help solve this problem and report back to the [human rights] committee."
