The Cambodian government has been asked to help what 100 international organisations have called a defacto AIDS colony on the outskirts of Phnom Penh.

HIV/AIDS and social justice organisations say 20 HIV-infected families were evicted from their homes in the city centre and moved to tin sheds with no running water or sanitation.
