ANZ payment to displaced Cambodian families brings landmark human rights case to a close

“With this money, the more than one thousand families forcibly evicted from their land by Phnom Penh Sugar are rebuilding,” said Eang Vuthy, Executive Director of Equitable Cambodia. “It doesn’t undo the years of suffering they’ve endured, but it is a significant help to families in getting back on their feet after many years, and we are thankful that ANZ fulfilled its promise. In the meantime, we urge the government to expedite the land resolution process to end this longstanding land dispute.”
