General Dy Phen, the chairman of the Cambodian-Thai border relation office, said that the Thai authority arrested 2 Chinese nationals who are employed by a road construction firm in Phnom Preuk.
The two Chinese traveled to Phnom Preuk district, Battambang province, by the O’Rumduol pass and they illegally crossed into the Kar Bin pass in Thailand at 08:45AM on 23 June 2011.
General Dy Pehn added that the 2 Chinese were driving a black Toyota Camry vehicle: “They did not have passport, our police officers told them to be careful because they do not have passport. They said that they used to go back and forth to buy food. All that we can do is to ask what was the reason they were arrested, and all that we can do is to find an arrangement for them. Whether the [Thai] indulge [on this case] or not, it depends on the Thai authority because it’s on their land.”
General Dy Phen added that the 2 Chinese men are: 30-year-old Chia Xubin and 39-year-old Chia Sung Ji. Both work for the Shanghai Construction Group which is involved in the construction of the road in Phnom Preuk district, Battambang province.
An official from the Cambodian border relation office indicated that the 2 Chinese use to go back and forth to Thailand to buy food every day. The pair was sent by the Thai authority to Soydav district, Chanthaburi province.
Khan Mane, the director of the Battambang province department of public works and transportation, said that the two Chinese who were arrested by Thailand can contact their embassy for help.
