A MILITARY commander in Banteay Meanchey province said Tuesday that he is preparing to file a complaint with the Thailand-Cambodia border relations office in Poipet after Thai soldiers allegedly beat three Cambodian villagers who had crossed the border to work on a sugarcane plantation, causing two to fall unconscious.

Neang Saret, a deputy battalion commander based at Poipet, said that the two villagers had crossed the border illegally into Sa Kaew province on May 7 when they encountered the Thai soldiers.

“After arresting the villagers, [the soldiers] took off their clothes and handcuffed them and beat them with a stick,” he said. “They have kept them since the morning, and released them on the evening of the same day.”

The following day, Neang Saret said, the two men joined another villager in crossing the border to look for vegetables. Again they encountered Thai soldiers, and again they were beaten, he said. He added that two of them suffered serious injuries during the second altercation.

They live close to the border, and they have nothing to do besides entering Thailand for work, even though they have learned that it is dangerous,” Neang Saret said, and added that he planned to file a complaint with the border relations office soon.

Soum Chankea, Banteay Meanchey provincial coordinator for the rights group Adhoc, identified the two men who were beaten unconscious as Ros Sary, 35, and Nou Ban, 30. He said the man who accompanied them on the second cross-border excursion – and who sustained only light injuries – was known only as Det, 35.

“The information I got is that these villagers entered Thailand to seek rattan and vegetables,” Soum Chankea said.y

Veerachon Sukondhadhpatipak, deputy spokesman of the Royal Thai Army, said Tuesday that he had heard nothing about either altercation.

Siam people are like Nazis, they do not understand what suffering mean. Nor do they understand how to separate evil from good.

Their only belief in Buddha is that their prayers could amassed them more wealth, destroy their enemies, and protect them from bullets.

They have the word for virtue, but they do not understand it. Like most concepts, it is foreign to them. They haven't been able to translate these terms from Khmer yet, even though they have in archive thousands of palm leave manuscripts in Khmer translated to Thai language they still have no idea what it means.

Khmer Surin are the poor of the poor and they live at the bottom of the Siem society and their only profession is being a soldier who are to be sent by the Siem leaders to be killed and to die on the battle field!

It is okay for the Khmer Surin to kill the Khmer because it is the Siem who are enjoying watching us Khmer killing Khmer! Yes...these Khmer Surin are so brave but at the end of the day when they return back to their civilian life and their braveness is useless and not needed in Siem society because the Siem always see them as a foot soldier for their dirty work in killing Khmer! I pray that the Khmer Surin will overcome their stupidity!

wake up khmer surin. stop being brainwashed by siem thugs! you and your ancestors are originated from cambodia. just because siem control isan and north east, and you are separated from mother cambodia by political geography, etc, doesn't mean you give up your khmer origin, etc... wake up, khmer surin and khmer leu people. get out of that tren that siem thieves put a spell on you and open your eyes to be proud of your khmer ancestors. stop fighting with your khmer brothers and sisters in cambodia. check your DNA, you are from khmer ancestors too, so, make some effort to learn khmer language, khmer writing and reading and literature, history, etc... maybe one day all khmer people in the region will unite once again like when the first great khmer king jayavarman 2nd who in 802 a.d. united all khmers to create one of the greatest khmer civilization of the time that saw the great buildings of the angkor monuments, etc... wake up please. awaken your khmer spirit in you all. you may be siem citizen, but your are khmer origin. so stop hurting khmer!

Ignorant Cambodians shouldn't jump to stupid conclusions. Khmer Surin are PROUD of their ancestry. Just like the Yuons who learn Khmer just to fuck with us, the Siams do the same shit.

Between Surin and other part of the Kingdom Cambodia for us Khmer descents are the Khmer territorial without border.
We as Khmer descent have the right on all parts of the former Khmer Empire.
Remembered of the day after the Thai lost the Prasat Preah Vihear at the international court in 1962. The Thai and not the Cambodian authority closed the border between the 2 countries.
Only the Khmer Surin but not Thai suffered, because the Khmer Surin were not able to visit Cambodia.

Thai bastards, you only able to kill and destroy our body but not our mind and our memory.
