POLICE in Takeo province on Sunday prevented about 10 members of the Cambodia Watchdog Council from visiting border posts that villagers say have been planted on their farmland, a representative of the group said.
Rong Chhun said the group had been told by Chey Chauk commune police that they needed permission from the government to visit the site.
“None of my members were allowed to see the location where they planted the poles,” he said.
“The police said they had been ordered by high-ranking officials to do this,” Rong Chhun added.
