Hun Sen warned Cambodians not to illegally cross into Thailand

Prime minister Hun Sen warned Cambodians living along the Cambodian-Thai border not to enter Thailand to cut down trees or undertake illegal activities in order to avoid being arrested or shot by Thai soldiers. In a speech given during the inauguration of the construction site for National Road 68 in Oddar Meanchey province, next to the Thai border, Hun Sen declared that, recently, 3 Cambodians who crossed into Thailand were arrested and sentenced, while others were shot and killed on the spot by Thai soldiers. Hun Sen asked them that, whatever they do, they should stay within Cambodian territories, and they should never cross into Thailand. Hun Sen also warned armed troops and Cambodians from entering Thai territories. Hun Sen also said that: “We will not allow Thai soldiers and civilians to enter into our territories either.”
