[geovalin]

The General Department of Immigration (GDI) of the Ministry of Interior reported yesterday that close cooperation with the Labour Ministry has resulted in the arrests of 263 foreigners who were living and working illegally across Cambodia in crackdowns over the past two days. GDI spokesman General Keo Vanthorn said most of those arrested had crossed the border and stayed in Cambodia illegally.

 

He said the deportees comprised Vietnamese (171), Chinese (74), Thais (16) and Bangladeshis (two) and that most of them had crossed the border illegally. Gen Vanthorn said the foreigners were deported through the Phnom Penh International Airport and the Bavet and Trapaing Phlong international border checkpoints. They have been banned from re-entering Cambodia for three years.

 

He added that they were arrested by police for illegal entry without visa or passport or were living and working illegally in Cambodia. Earlier this month, Gen Vanthorn reported that authorities had deported nearly 4,000 foreigners and blacklisted nearly 1,000 people in the first nine months of the year.
