Prime Minister Hun Sen has rejected reports that Cambodia is providing a satellite connection to a Thai red shirt's TV station shut down earlier by the Thai government but has been since back on air, reports Radio Free Asia.
Thai media reported that the immediate re-broadcasting of the red shirt's TV, People's TV, was enabled by a satellite connection provided by a satellite service provider in Cambodian.
However, during a meeting with Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya on the sideline of the Asean Summit in Hanoi on Friday, the 9th, Mr. Hun Sen had personally assured Mr. Kasit that Cambodia did not provide airwave to the red shirt protesters. Mr. Kasit was quoted by the Nation newspaper that Mr. Hun Sen was also very positive about the improvement of relations between the two countries. "He was very positive. He also dismissed the report that the red shirts used the Cambodian airwave," Kasit said of Mr. Hun Sen's assurances.
The Thai government ordered the red shirt TV to be shut down on Friday. The protesters forcibly occupied Thaicom, the satellite provider, and forced it to reconnect PTV and within hours, it was back on air again. However, many Thai media still accused Cambodia of providing the satellite service to PTV.
