The Preah Vihear Provincial Court has ordered nine villagers to appear on Wednesday to respond to allegations that they dismantled the office of a Malaysian rubber plantation company five months ago.

The nine villagers and 300 protesters allegedly pried the wooden walls off of a building housing the Eminent Elite (Cambodia) Co Ltd office in June after the company continued clearing a road through the area over their objections.

On November 20, investigating judge Veng Muoyki issued the order for the suspects to come in or face arrest. Pen Lam, chief of Sroyong commune, confirmed that hundreds were involved in the protest, though only nine were summoned.
