Yorm Bopha has lost count of the number of times she has been threatened by authorities because of her involvement with the Boeung Kak Lake (BKL) campaign.
As a representative of the BKL community, 29-year-old mother Yorm Bopha is an outspoken land rights activist, and a central figure in her community’s long-running campaign against forced eviction. She can-not remember how many times she has been beaten during protests but she clearly remembers being shocked twice by electric stun batons whilst protest-ing peacefully.
