WASHINGTON DC — A British lawyer has filed new documents against senior Cambodian officials at the International Criminal Court, accusing them of systematic land grabs that constitute human rights abuses.

Land activists and victims of forced evictions in Cambodia say they support the charges, filed by UK-based attorney Richard Rogers, and say they hope it forces government officials to revisit their development policies.
