Families facing eviction who live near Phnom Penh International Airport have rejected claims that they are living illegally on state property. The rebuttals were made at a Friday meeting between city officials and representatives of the more than 100 affected families living in Dangkor district’s Choam Chao commune, said Uth Teng Sakhorn, a family representative. The families face a December 11 eviction deadline. The city plans to convert the disputed area into a public park.
