PomMahakanRenovations
11 MAY 2017 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A community garden on the site of an old home in Pom Mahakan. The family living in the home was evicted and the structure torn down. The residents of Pom Mahakan are pictured on a government banner in the background. The final evictions of the remaining families in Pom Mahakan, a slum community in a 19th century fort in Bangkok, have started. City officials are moving the residents out of the fort. NGOs and historic preservation organizations protested the city's action but city officials did not relent and started evicting the remaining families in early March. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
