Cambodia's opposition politicians have finally taken their seats in parliament, more than a year after disputed elections.

Activists hope the end of the political deadlock will also bring about an end to the worsening crisis of "land grabbing".

More than half a million people have been affected by the practice in recent years, with hundreds of thousands of homes sacrificed for a developer's dream.

Al Jazeera's Rob McBride reports from Phnom Penh.
