On the second day they came, they invaded our houses... they expelled our children and we said nothing ... On the third day the water covered everything and because we said nothing we will never be able to do anything Are we going to let this happen again? The rights to freedom of movement and to choose one's residence, recognized in many international laws and national constitutions, are infringed when forced evictions occur. The right to security of the person, also widely established, means little in practical terms when people are forcibly evicted with violence, bulldozers and intimidation. Direct governmental harassment, arrests or even killings of community leaders opposing forced evictions are common and violate the rights to life, to freedom of expression and to join organizations of one's choice.
