A UN Official indicated that a group of people was saved from the forest located in the east of Cambodia. The group claimed that they fled from Vietnam to look for refuge in a third country.
Chuong Ravuth, a UNHCR official, said that the 15 Montagnard people from Vietnam were saved on Thursday after they hid in the forest of O’Yadaw district, Ratanakiri province in the past one month while waiting for help to get out.
Chuong ravuth said: “Based on the information, we had to cooperate with the authority and several departments to get help. When we arrived at their (hiding) location, they all came about according to the number we were told: 15 of them.”
The group of Montagnard people is believed to be part of a group of 27 people whom the UNHCR learnt that they fled from their villages in Vietnam last May.
The 15 Montagnard people will be sent to the UNHCR headquarters in Phnom Penh next week.
