Destruction and Displacement
During the early morning hours of Saturday, January 24th, bulldozers descended upon a Cambodian village, forcing people from their homes and devastating the lives of 150 families. The Hub blog details the eviction, and WITNESS partner LICADHO, along with others, captured powerful footage. This is just one of a series of forced evictions in Cambodia.
New video surfaces in the Oscar Grant case, suggesting another officer may have also been involved in his death. Watch the video on our blog or help spread the word about this tragic killing by forwarding one of the videos captured by eye witnesses.
