Residents of Angkor Archaeological Park took to their motorbikes to chase away Apsara Authority officials who tried to remove rain tarps from their homes, according to two videos posted to social media, amid “mass forced evictions” in the Unesco-listed area.

In one two-minute video, shared by local Facebook news page Hang Touch, a man drives along a dirt road in a convoy of more than a dozen motorbikes and explains that residents were angered by Apsara Authority officials.

The officials came to villages within the Unesco-listed area and took down tents that residents had set up to prevent their houses from leaking during the rainy season, the man in the video says. As a result, a crowd of residents gathered and chased away the officials, he says.

The local Facebook page, Hang Touch, says the incident happened in Roluos commune, in Siem Reap’s Prasat Bakorng district, on Tuesday, August 8.

In another video shared on social media, around 100 people are gathered in a crowd. The woman filming the video, which is longer at around 13 minutes, says the officials tried to take down tarps placed over shops. Locals were angered and chased away the officials on motorbikes, the woman says.

Around 10,000 families around the Angkor Archaeological Park area have been targeted for eviction to relocation sites, and are being restricted from making changes to existing structures. Amnesty International has called for a stop to the evictions, which the government calls voluntary.

“These are forced evictions in disguise and on a mass scale. People were pressured to volunteer and made to feel fearful of reprisals if they refused to leave or challenged the evictions,” Amnesty’s Ming Yu Hah said in a recent statement.

The dispute around Angkor Park is among more than 120 land conflicts being tracked by Kamnotra.
