Mr. Moeung Son, chairman of Khmer Civilisation Foundation, told reporters that he had submitted the compensation claims to the embassy on 23rd April for 261 families whose homes were destroyed by the Thai shells. He said: "If Thailand compensate them, our government does not need to spend money to help the victims, this is the first point.

do not forget to file charge aginst the stupid Thai gov't for the intention to kill and destroy the unarmed civilians. even though the civilians had escaped the death by their cowardice, but the intention to kill has been committed. this is a coward criminal act that must not be overlooked.

I think Thailand will refuse to pay the compensation. If so, the victims then can take the Thai army/government to International Criminal Court in The Hague.
