Aljazeera reports today that 500 armed police have been sent to confront villagers who are trying to prevent the destruction of one of Cambodia's last primary forests, Prey Lang. Several hundred villagers have been trekking deep through the forest for the past several days to protest illegal logging and government-granted concessions, according to the report.
