Protesters hinder land titling in Kompong Speu over fishing rights
Officials in Cambodia’s Kompong Speu province have had to suspend their efforts to grant private land titles over part of a 40-hectare reservoir dating back to the Khmer Rouge in the face of a protest mounted by more than 100 locals afraid of losing their fishing privileges. Seang Khim, one of the protesters, said the 20 families have no right to get titles to the area because the reservoir sits on public land and because they come from another village.
