Thais Told: Stop Border Shootings


Recommended Posts

Posted

Senior officials in the Cambodian army yesterday called on their Thai counterparts to stop their units from opening fire on Cambodians crossing the border illegally, urging their neighbors to show “humanity” during military meetings yesterday. Royal Cambodian Armed Forces commander-in-chief General Pol Saroeun met with Royal Thai Army commander-in-chief General Chalermchai Sitthisad yesterday and discussed a variety of issues between both countries.
 

But Gen. Saroeun made a point of highlighting the disputes Cambodia has with Thailand over their shared border and the enforcement techniques used by their neighbors. Dozens of Cambodians are shot and killed every year while trying to cross illegally into Thailand in search of employment, usually in Thai factories, or for illegal logging.
 

Last month, two men were shot while trying to cross back into Cambodia. They were forced to continue their journey while bleeding from bullet wounds and eventually received treatment once they reentered Cambodia.
