Cambodian Prisoners in Thailand Must be Repatriated: Hor Namhong

Cambodians imprisoned in Thailand must be repatriated to serve their sentences in Cambodia as per an agreement between the two Govern-ments, according Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Hor Namhong’s remarks broadcast on Radio France International (RFI) on Tuesday.

“Our Foreign Affairs and Interna- tional Cooperation Ministry [MFAIC] is making efforts to help our citizens imprisoned in Thailand return to Cambodia, including released prisoners,” Hor Namhong told RFI.

Sixteen Cambodians were recently convicted by a Thai court of illegal deforestation. “Not only 16 Cambodian citizens, but also many other Cambodian prisoners are imprisoned in Thailand, and we are making efforts to negotiate with Thai authorities to return those prisoners to Cambodia, including two women,” the minister added.

Orm Sam Arth, an investigator for local rights organization Adhoc, on Wednesday told DAP News Cambodia that this is the first step to all prisoners returning to Cambodia, making it easier for family members to visit.

However, it is unclear how many Cambodians are imprisoned in Thailand.

I've been browsing on-line more than 3 hours today, but I never discovered any interesting article like yours. It is pretty value sufficient for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the internet will likely be much more useful than ever before.
