Lite Beer Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 14 Cambodians deported, 327 detainedThe NationBANGKOK: -- Fourteen Cambodians detained at a Sa Kaew prison have been repatriated to their country after being released on Wednesday, when illegal-entry charges were dropped by police.Separately, a total of 327 Cambodians were arrested for illegal entry in three lots in this border province by joint police and Army forces.The 14 people returned were earlier handed to Thai Immigration Police, then transported to Cambodia's Poipet checkpoint at 9.30am yesterday. The repatriation was conducted at a location where media personnel from both countries were not permitted to enter.Sources at the Poipet checkpoint said that the group, were greeted by their families. Some were hugging and crying openly when they met.The media focus on the 14 came after news of the release of Thai activist Veera Somkwamkid broke on Tuesday.Speculation grew that Veera's release was linked to the repatriation of the Cambodians.In arrests linked to the 327 others - mostly Cambodians aiming to work illegally in Thailand - a Thai woman and a Cambodian man were detained for hiding 149 Cambodians in a house and a nearby sugar-cane field. The woman, identified as Juthamas Onsopha, has been charged with giving shelter to illegal aliens.Another 61 Cambodians, 36 of them men, were found and apprehended in another arrest near the Thai-Cambodian Friendship Bridge in Sa Kaew's Aranyaprathet district. They later told police they each paid Bt2,000 to a Cambodian agent to be smuggled into Thailand.Another 117 Cambodians including 71 men were found and apprehended in a small jungle, also in Aranyaprathet, by a local rangers unit. They were handed to Immigration Police accused of illegal entry and lacking travel documents.

Yes, God forbid there not be any Cambodians around to exploit, we (especially those of us with maids!) will have to hire Thais and pay them something close to a living wage. The horror.

paz Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 If your in someone elses country without the correct paperwork your a criminal and should be treated as such. The crime of having gone looking for work at the cost of being exploited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtongteesood Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 One assumes they are the same 14 that were requested in return for the release of Veera. I still think they should have given the 14 over as a present in return for keeping hold of him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 There was no swap. Normally, illegal Cambodia, Laos, and Burmese are deported very quickly. There is no money to be extracted from them while they are in prison or IDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
