Forced Eviction and Housing Right Abuses in Asia By Kenneth Fernandes

In 1995 the Eviction Watch program of the Asian Coalition for Housing Rights (ACHR) published the first report Eviction Watch Asia: Forced Evictions and Housing Rights Abuses in Asia by Denis Murphy and Minar Pimple. For the first time evictions were quanti fied in the region. Conservatively estimated, about 2 million people were robbed of their right to adequate shelter, and added to the number of homeless. These were the known cases documented by groups involved with housing rights issues.
