In Brief: Land concession protest in Kratie

More than 300 villagers in Sambor district, Kratie province, held a protest Saturday against a Korean company that has been granted an economic land concession there. The villagers said the company would damage graves and rice fields. Tim Narin, Kratie provincial coordinator for the rights group Adhoc, told the Post that she had received a complaint from the villagers but had not yet conducted an investigation. She said she did not know the size of the concession or the name of the Korean company.
