25 SEPTEMBER 2016 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A sign in English and Thai warning that the land in Pom Mahakan Fort is public land and trespassing is not allowed. City officials are trying to prevent squatters from moving into empty homes in the old fort. Forty-four families still live in the Pom Mahakan Fort community. The city of Bangkok has given them provisional permission to stay, but city officials say the permission could be rescinded and the city go ahead with the evictions. The residents of the historic fort have barricaded most of the gates into the fort and are joined every day by community activists from around Bangkok who support their efforts to stay.
