HRP calls on Thailand to stop killing Cambodian citizens

19 January 2010

Translated from Khmer by Socheata

On 16 January, three MPs from the Human Rights Party wrote a letter to the Thai prime minister to express their hurtful feelings on the frequent shooting and killing of Cambodian citizens by Thai soldiers when these Cambodians illegally cross the border into Thailand. The HRP MPs explained to the Thai PM that, due to their poverty, a number of Cambodians are forced to cross the border illegally to work or to log trees in Thailand. In spite of their mistake, these Cambodian workers do not deserve to be shot at and killed. The HRP wrote: “According to International human rights law and the integrity maintained by our neighboring countries, it is never heard that any democratic country would shoot and kill citizens from another country just for illegally crossing the border.” The HRP MPs asked the Thai PM and Thai army leaders to use their national and international law rather than resorting to use weapons.”

They shoot Khmer people like rats, what a shame. The US would soon get rid of illegal Mexican loggers by applying Thai's method.

The stupid UN should condemn Thailand and Thais Gov'ts to stop their soldier from shooting an unarmed poor people who just looking for works....Thailand had done cruelty thing to Khmer people since 1979, they even force Khmer people to walk on land mine field and they threaten to shoot if they turn around...! UN should start to open their fucken eyes and codemn Thailand!!

If Hun Sen is as strong as his mouth is do something to stop the Thai from mistreating Khmers. His silence means that he is careless about Khmers.

Khmer and viet have always been good friends,but the wicked one are the Chiness and the USA and they used khmer to attack viet because viet choose to be part of the USSR. Anyway, half of the Khmer population are now vietkhmer, we might as well be one. we must promote unity, by treating each other kindly. Without viet's help we would not be here today. So, stop calling each other's name. we need one another if we want to be more successful. we must migrate at least 2-3 million more viets and place them around phrea vihear area so that they can be the country's keepers, it will be good for both nations, do it now and do it fast! K. intelligent

Khun Chang said "brave" soldiers.

Brave soldiers shooting starving 'enemies' without a weapon on them?
If, they were enemies the first place.
They must been taught every unarm human from Cambodian side is enemy,
kill them.

I think it is a retaliation from the Thai gov' toward the PM. And they take revenge at the common peasants at their convenient.

I don't belong to any political party but I do pay some attention.

SRP seems to always in a hot pot with the ruling party. That's because they brave to oppose Hun Xen. They stand for people interest. They have help and try to help countless victims.

HRP on the other hand have not done much. This is somewhat the first time they said something. But when really think about it. They seems to be the CPP puppets. I mean, their leader Kem Sokha have countless corrupted history and his broter is with CPP. In addition, Kem Sokha, HRP never do or say anything much to oppose Hun Sen, the ruling party. THEY NEVER DARE OPEN THEIR MOUTH ABOUT THE VIET BORDER ISSUES. THEY NEVER ONCE SAID IT WAS WRONG THE WAY THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY TO LIFT THE PARALIAMENTARY IMMUNITY FROM THE OPPOSITION PARTY. Instead I over heard they go around in the urban area talking trash about SRP. My question is should they put effort trying to get supporters from CPP? They didn't because they are Hun Sen's puppet. HRP is a puppet of a puppet.

8:44PM - speaking for yourself dude. You sound like a puppet of a puppet, rather than a neutral.

I have not met Kem Sokha in person, but I plan to meet him at one of his gathering when circumstance allows. As for Mr. Rainsy, I had met him in private, and that all I have to say.

If you care about the country, you should open your heart and welcome all opposition be it SRP or HRP, otherwise, you're not different from those whom you criticize.

That shows the intention of Thai government to not solving seriously. Talk is one thing and do it is another. So far Thai government has not done much other than just talking.

This is exactly what the opposition parties should be doing and stop focusing on criticizing the Government. If they focus on these type of issues for everyday people. HRP or SRP would have a better chance of winning a lot of votes.

But I stress to you Mr. Kem Sohka and I will meet you here in the valley soon that you need to focus on helping the people and not trying too much to try to win seats or even Prime Minister. At least try to improve the daily life of our Khmer Citizens would be a bigger impact than just trying to shoot for the stars.

At least you did something for the people and have lasting effects.

The UN never said a damn thing regarding the senseless killing of Cambodian people along the Siem-Cambodian border! But the damn UN come in full force and slam the Cambodian government for deporting the Uighur back to China. The UN stand for United Nations but this time Cambodia is not treated as part of United Nations!

are you a animal or brainless mam to say to say like that?คุณไทยมักจะพูดว่า ตัวเองมความเมตตา มีความสัมพันธ์ที่ดีกับประเทศเพื่อนบ้าน โกหก พวกมึงโหดยิ่งกว่าสัตว์ดิริจฉานไปอีก ลองคิดเอาสิ ถ้าคนไทยไม่จ้างเขา เขากล้าจะทำไหม เขาก็แค่เอาความเสี่ยงไปแลกกับเงินเล็กน้อยเอง คนไทยเองเป็นคนที่ทำลายทรัพยกรของตน แค่ตัดไม้ไม่ว่า ในกรณีอื่น นอกจากการตัดไม้ คนเขมรก็ถูกยิง ทำไม?????ถ้าคนเขมรทำต่อคนไทยอย่างงั้น คนคิดยังไง?????

I thought it is Hun Sen government's job to send a protest to the Thai government. What is his government doing for Khmer people? Just sit down, do nothing, and wait to receive paycheck only while Cambodian people's live are at stake?
