Cambodia pressured to halt forced evictions around Angkor Wat

Published
Cambodia’s government is under renewed pressure to stop the removal of around ten thousand families living near the temple of Angkor Wat. Since 2022, authorities have been ordering people to leave the UNESCO World Heritage listed site, and a new report by Amnesty International released this week described the relocations as forced evictions that break international law. UNESCO has now joined the call for the Cambodian government to stop the program.
