Thais Seeking Return of Three Nationals: Report

Chun Sakada, VOA Khmer
Phnom Penh Thursday, 16 December 2010

Thailand is seeking the return of three nationals arrested in Cambodia and sentenced to 18 months in prison for illegal entry and unlawful possession of weapons earlier this year, the Bangkok Post reported Thursday.

However, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said Cambodia has not yet received an official request.

The three suspects—Lan Sapsri, 53, Lim Puangpet, 39, and Sanong Wongcharoen, 36—all from Thailand’s Surin province, were arrested in August in Oddar Meanchey province.


They were sentenced to 18 months in prison and a $250 fine in Siem Reap provincial court last week.

The Post quoted Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva as saying this week his foreign minister was looking into the arrests and seeking a way to bring them back.

Cambodian Foreign Ministry spokesman Koy Kuong said no such request had come through diplomatic channels. However, he said, Cambodia was seeking the return of four of its own nationals.

Both sides have traditionally seen a number of cross-border arrests. In August 2009, they agreed to send respective nationals back across the border to serve out their time in home prisons.

The three Siem nationals is the enemy combatants who violated Cambodian law! The three Siem nationals must remain in prison to serve their time for breaking Cambodian law!

Cambodian leaders must not reward anybody for breaking Cambodian law!

In Cambodia...If the leader has the army and the police and the Cambodian people will have no choice except to vote for this leader. Otherwise bloody military coup is on the way! Now I know that Cambodian people like most people in the world want to live in peace!
This is not about Sam Rainsy because this about Cambodian people who want to change. And the Cambodian people know too well that by choosing to change Cambodian leadership and they will risk their life!

I believe Cambodian people will have to wait and play dumb, deaf, and blind just to live in peace. This is the life of animal.
