3,000 Thais to Be Repatriated From Cambodian Scam Compounds: Thai Police

A Cambodian police official on Tuesday said he would potentially welcome — but disclosed little about — Thai authorities’ reported plan to send officers and a navy ship to Cambodia to remove some 3,000 Thai nationals from online scam operations.

 

Thailand’s assistant national police chief Surachate Hakparn said on Sunday that authorities will be traveling to Cambodia on April 2 to release between 2,800 and 3,000 Thai nationals from illegal scam compounds in Cambodia, according to the Bangkok Post. According to the newspaper, Surachate would lead a team of senior police to Phnom Penh and other cities, and the Royal Thai Navy would arrange a ship to bring people back to Thailand.

 

The assistant chief added that Thai nationals would be released from compounds in an operation unfolding over several days, and they would later be screened in Thailand before deciding whether to take any legal action. Cambodian National Police spokesperson Chhay Kim Khoeun told VOD on Tuesday that he had not received any formal letter from Thai counterparts, but Cambodian authorities would work with them if they reached out.

Sounds good.

 

I hope they also have plans for a similar operation in Saudi Arabia in the future.

So, Cambodia won't do a thing about the Chinese human traffickers and so they're allowing Thai police to do the job? Don't know what to say. Anyway, some good news.
