Twenty-nine homeless Cambodians, including 20 children, will be rappatriated from Ho Chi Minh City today. Apart from the children, the group consists of nine adults – three men and six women. Of the 20 children, 10 are boys and 10 are girls, according to Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Chum Sunry.


They will enter the Kingdom through the Bavet border checkpoint before traveling to the department of social affairs in Svay Rieng City, Mr. Sunry added. Nineteen of those to be repatriated are from Svay Rieng’s Chantria district, while nine are from Kampong Roh district. One is from Tbong Khmom province.


All 20 were allegedly in Vietnam begging for money and selling lottery tickets before being arrested by Vietnamese authorities and sent to Ho Chi Min City’s Social Salvation Center, where they were fed and treated kindly, Mr. Sunry said. “As of July, the Cambodian consular in Ho Chi Minh City has repatriated a total of 138 Cambodian homeless and illegal lottery salespeople who were arrested by Vietnamese authorities. Most of them were children who followed their mother or their elders and were living along the border with Vietnam,” he added.
