Fwd: we can do something for justice in Cambodia this week!

A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING FOR JUSTICE IN CAMBODIA! Dear friends, 3 important events coming up this week: On this Tuesday (10th) at 8.00, there is a meeting at 7NG between 7NG (the company behind the violent eviction of Dey Krahom community two weeks ago (24th Jan) and Dey Krahom community representatives. 7NG, in collusion with the Govt and Municipality of Phnom Penh, have carried out a violent eviction, and have created a humanitarian disaster resulting in hundreds of Internally Displaced people with now inadequate access to shelter, sanitation, livlihoods, schools etc. This meeting is reported to be the Communities LAST CHANCE to gain compensation from 7NG. We are appealing to all people of faith, and all those who long for justice in this nation, to come join us in a prayer vigil from 8.00am onward. If you can come for 20 minutes or an hour or all morning, if you want to pray or just stand in quiet solidarity with those violently evicted and who have had their homes destroyed - we would welcome you. We believe this will make a difference. We will meet on the small park area directly in front of 7NG's entrance. 7NG office is at #15 Sotheros Boulevard, not far from Build Bright University, the Anana Center, and Lucky Seven Burgers. Secondly: On Wednesday 2pm, at the Municipal Court, 3 community leaders of Dey Krahom appear to face trumped up charges of doing property damage to 7NG. These are cynical charges being used to intimidate those who dared to lead the resistance to the grabbing of tehir land. Again, please come and prayerfully show your solidarity (the exact time & location will be sent out in an e mail tomorrow). Thirdly: on Friday evening, 6.00-9.30pm we have the first meeting of 2009 for CSJ (Christians for Social Justice) group. This is a group of people from various Christian faith traditions who meet regularly to reflect, discuss, pray, advocate and network to advance to cause of justice in Cambodia. We also have excellent partnerships and work collaboratively with several local human rights groups. There will be food as well! Location, Servants Team Center #119 (1st floor), St 440 (the street that runs along the northern edge of Toul Tom Poung market). The house is about 50 meters west of the corner of 440 and 155. (Unfortunately, on some maps St 440 is listed as St 444, so don't be fooled!). We will be discussing our strategy for 2009. We'd love to see you at any of these events. God Bless Kristin Jack (017 348 164) and Chris Baker Evans (012 359 143). Contact either of us for more details. We are calling upon all people of faith, and those who long for justice in this nation, to gather in the small park area immediately in front of the 7NG entrance for a prayer vigil. We will be praying gthru the morning for justice to be done, and fair compensation for land taken and homes and livlihoods destroyed. If you can join us for 20 minutes or an hour or all morning to offer prayer, or just stand in solidarity with the people viollently evicted from Dey Krahom, PLEASE COME AND JOIN US from 8.00 am onwards.
