Rights group Adhoc will today submit a Joint Civil Complaint to the Kampong Chhnang Provincial Court for 50 families embroiled in a land dispute in Kampong Tralach district’s Tacheh commune.

In a press release yesterday, Adhoc claimed the provincial court had repeatedly derailed the case. Judicial officers from Kampong Chhnang could not be reached for comment yesterday.
