PHUKET:-- More than 100 local residents from the Pracha Samakkee Community massed at the Phuket Provincial Hall this morning (Dec 6) to call for help after 77 of the residents, who were said to have lived on the land where the community stands for over 10 years, were expelled by ‘capitalists’ they say have reclaimed the land.

 

The mass of residents was led by the head of the community Mr Surasak Tainapreaw and community secretary Weerayut Jaesoh who handed a letter to Phuket Vice Governor Pragob Wongmaneerung asking for them to assist with their present predicament.

 

Mr Surasak said, “We are from the community on Moo 2 Koh Kaew which covers an area of land of more than 300 rai. More than 300 families settled on the land as they thought it was ‘outlaw land’ (land without document of ownership). We believed the land had previously had a concession for a tin mine, but that the concession had ended.
