Two Thai policemen were accused of using excessive force against an unarmed Cambodian lady and her 8 year-old daughter while they were catching crabs and snails at a creek along the borders, reports Radio Free Asia.
48 year-old Hourn Han from Samakki village, Kork Romiet commune in Thmor Puok district of Banteay Meanchey province, said that on 25th October, she and her 8 year-old daughter went to catch crabs and snails at a creek near Thai Border Post 17 located near Border Pillar 38 in Taphraya district of Sakeo province. She said at 11:30 am, two Thai policemen suddenly appeared and called both of them to go up the ground and without warning started kicking her repeatedly, breaking her left wrist. "I went to catch snails and two of them (Thai policemen) called us to come out of the creek, without asking us any questions, they started kicking on my hands, my back and the last kick caused my arm to break. They shouted for me to run and they fired a single shot at me also", she said.
She added that her 8 year-old daughter was unhurt because she had run away because she was traumatised by the violence perpetrated against her by the two Thai policemen.
This incident happened after another Cambodian man was beaten into unconsciousness by a group of Thai men at Aranyaprathet town on 21st October, 2009.
Mr. Porn Savorn, Cambodian deputy military commander of Thmor Puok district, said that he met with Mr. Chaksokhorn Khanchayabhumi, commander of Thai battalion 17, but the commander denied that his men had beaten the Cambodian lady in question. "Why did they beat her, why did they kick her until her wrist was broken because she was just catching snails?", Mr. Savorn said.
Mr. Chhean Dara, chief of Kork Romiet Police Station, said local Cambodian authority are preparing a letter of complaint to send to the Thai authority regarding Mrs. Hourn Han's case.
Mr. Mao Pov, chief of Samakki village, said Thai soldiers and police had often used excessive forces in the past against Khmer unarmed civilians. "In the past they (Thais) had shot and killed (Khmers) and they accused them of dealing with amphetamines/drugs", he said.

hi i was wondering about your comment above? can we chat? here is my msn sereyran@hotmail.com or serenitytranquility@yhaoo.com
the fucking thai dogs always denying any mistreatment of khmer. thai dogs authority always play blind eyes and deaf ears when either their police or soldier used violences against khmer. this bullshit has gone too far and too often. cambodian governement are coward when dealing with the thai dogs. screw making complaints and other useless bullshit, give the same fucking treatment to the thai dogs that illegally cross into cambodia and cambodian government should just play deaf and blind about it, see how the fucking thai dogs like it. this isn't the time of khmer living in thailand refugees camp where such abuse was quitely gone un-notice.
Another human right abuse by Thai troops against innocent unarmed Khmer civilians.
As far as the report says, the lady in question was just catching crabs and snails in a creek located on the borderline because the creek is a borderline. In this case, the creek belong to both Cambodia and Thailand and Thai police have no reason to abuse against any Cambodian citizens using the creek.
In a civil society, if the woman entered Thai territories illegally, what the Thai police need to do is arrest her, fine her and hand her over to the Cambodian authority. To kick her until her wrist was broken was just a gross human right abuse. It is barbaric, as we can see that the burning alive of Yon Rith by Thai soldiers was so barbaric already. It gives reason for Khmer soldiers to treat Thai illegal trespassers the same treatments.
The Cambodian must seek serious investigation about this case. Cause it is really getting too ridiculous.
Crimes after one another! This is too much. Where is our government representatives???
I said stop the relationship with THAI now!!
Close our embassy in Bangkok and close their in Phnom Penh!!!!!!!
Cause they put the guy to work at their embassy with no knowledge of telling us what had happened if we told them to investigate. Nonsense with this unprofessional behavior.
Done is done!!!!!!!!!!
When is HUN SEN going to scold them!!
