		Kothari went on to say that the case of Kbal Spean is one of the few cases he studied where the complicity of authorities from various levels is so clear and emphasized the illegal role of the military in the eviction.

		KBAL SPEAN, Cambodia (Reuters) -- For Noun Savy and her family, the end of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge in her tiny corner of northwest Cambodia did not mean the start of peace.
		Instead, she and hundreds of villagers found themselves under attack from police and soldiers in the pay of powerful businessmen bent on evicting them from their homes along the Thai border in the shadow of giant casinos which have sprung up there.
		In all, six people were shot dead when more than 200 military and local police moved in to evict Kbal Spean's 218 families from the village that had been their home since 1997 -- the year Pol Pot's ultra-Maoist guerrillas were chased from the region.
