Description

The Requesters allege that their orchard, which provided substantial income to their family, was acquired without adequate compensation. They explain they are unclear whether their land was acquired under the Greater Beirut Water Supply Project and its Additional Financing or under the Water Supply Augmentation Project due to a lack of clarity in available documents. They explain that they appealed the valuation of their land in court, which ruled in their favor, but that this ruling was disregarded and that severe currency devaluation during the compensation process rendered their compensation inadequate and caused them substantial harm. They also explain that they were asked to pay a considerable “clearance fee” to facilitate the process and, due to expiration of the one-calendar-year clearance, were pressured to accept less compensation than what the court determined. They allege that they await adequate compensation despite losing the land more than five years ago.
