Thai lawmaker and 6 others face prison in Cambodia for illegal border crossing

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - A Cambodian court charged seven Thais, including a member of Parliament, on Thursday with illegally crossing the border in the latest flare-up of an often-strained relationship between the neighbours.

Thailand's Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, who was dispatched to the Cambodian capital to negotiate the group's release, urged Cambodian authorities to speed the legal proceedings.

"We respect the judiciary of Cambodia," Kasit said through a translator. The ministry has said the group was inspecting the border area. "We have asked the government to complete the case as soon as possible."


The arrests occurred Wednesday in a disputed area of the frontier in Cambodia's northwestern Banteay Meanchey province. Among those arrested was lawmaker Panich Vikitsreth of the ruling Democrat party, a former aide to Kasit at the Foreign Ministry.

The Phnom Penn Municipal Court charged them with illegal entry and illegally entering a military base along the border, crimes that carry penalties of up to six months and one year, respectively, said deputy prosecutor Sok Roeun.

Cambodia's Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said the group crossed from Thailand's eastern Sa Kaew province and walked some 500 yards (meters) into Cambodian territory.

"They will not be released until the normal court procedure is completed," he said after meeting with Kasit.

Relations have been contentious for years, with the main focus on a border dispute near the 11th century Preah Vihear temple that has led to a series of small but sometimes deadly skirmishes.

To all Thai people who want to cross the border illegally to Cambodia for any purpose,

Please enter from the east side border, the Cambodian authority think that you are Vietnameses and they let you go free.

the siem thugs obviously have something going by sending these seven unruly pad thugs to intrude on purpose into cambodian territory. i have no doubt! they don't want a good relationship with cambodia in the first place, so, why we care! it is the law to capture and confine them just like they did to our people, and just like anybody else. this is not a joke that they can just do whatever they please with cambodia, you know! the khmer juries spoken! let them taste our law for a change!

Anonymous said...

the situation didn't help, as one of them was already involved illegally entered cambodia on the preah vihear case, and now they did this again in banteay meanchey province! shame on the unruly pad thugs!

here my khmer opinion to them, we don't want your relationship, stupid siem thugs! go back to nanchoa province of china, ok! bye bye!

PM Hun beware, Thailand will use this arrest to pretext the invasion of border post.
Remember the start of Preah Vihear saga in 08/2008.

if siem is not stupid they should let us use the law to deal with these intruders, really! if they protest it, it means they were in it together, all of them are criminal for condoning this serious violation of cambodian law, etc! think about it! hey, cambodia have law too, you know! didn't your ambassador educate your people about that?

I don't think this is a real motive to arrest Thais citizen at all. It is a trick to let Vietnamese authority to arrest SRP members when they travel to check Cambodian demarcation posts with vietnam. Hun Sen wants to destroy SRP party.

Your logic is pure bullshit! Tell me how can the Vietcong arrest the SRP opposition from visiting the border posts when the fucken border posts located right in the middle of Cambodian orchard and on Cambodian farmer! Do you think that the SRP Oppositions are stupid enough not to use GPS to know where the hell is Cambodian territories?

The Vietcong will never dare touch SRP opposition because they know that their naked aggression go against international law and law! If AH HUN SEN dare to bring out the Vietcong naked aggression to international community and the Vietcong will be persecuted under international law!

As a slave to the Vietcong AH HUN SEN pretend to be deaf, blind, and speechless and leave it to Cambodian next generation to solve it!
