Translated from Khmer by Socheata for KI-Media
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.”
