Two poor Cambodian villagers who work on logging and hauling precious wood were killed like animals by Thai soldiers.
Police from the Trapaing Prasat district, Oddar Meanchey province, said that two men among a group of 30 wood loggers and haulers were shot and killed by Thai soldiers on 10 January 2010 on top of Phnom Dangrek, O’Svay commune, Trapaing Prasat district, Oddar Meanchey province. Furthermore, 8 other loggers disappeared while 20 others are currently on the run.
The report indicated that, as of 12 January, the Thai authority did not return the body of the two laborers yet. These unfortunate loggers were hired by front men to log and haul wood. As for the laborers who disappeared, their fate is still unknown.
Quite frequently, the Thai authority unmercifully shoots and kills Cambodian laborers who cross the border to work illegally in Thailand. The Cambodian government is never seen reacting to these incidents, furthermore, when Thai citizens are caught perpetrating illegal acts in Cambodia, not only the Cambodian government never punishes them, but it even return them back to the Thai authority with respect in order to please the Thais.
