Thai authorities deported thousands of illegal Cambodian migrant workers through the Poipet International Border Checkpoint last month in Banteay Meanchey province. The bodies of nine people were also returned to Cambodia at the same time, according to a report released by the National Police.

 

The report said 3,750 Cambodians, including 1,990 men, 1,359 women and 401 children, were deported for illegally working in Thailand in April. In a recent provincial meeting, Governor Soun Bovor said illegal migration was an important issue relating to the safety of Cambodians who look for jobs illegally through brokers and then risk arrest by Thai authority.

 

Mr Bovor could not be reached for comment yesterday. Soum Chankea, provincial coordinator with rights group Adhoc, said the figure seemed to be underestimated because other illegal migrant workers were not recorded.
