| Brief narrative |
Source: COHRE In January 2006, within the framework of the Agrarian Reform Project AC-529, the Department of Agriculture (IAD) evicted 51 farmers in Neiba, Bahoruco Province. The eviction had been ordered by the ruling Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) and appears to have benefited other farmers and officials who support the party. The 51 families were evicted despite the fact that they had title deeds on the land. For full narrative, please visit: http://www.cohre.org/store/attachments/Global_Survey_10.pdf | ||||||||||
