Sources from the Cambodian-Thai border said many Cambodian migrant workers working to plant and harvest cassava and rice inside Thai territory, near the spot where the 7 Thai nationals were arrested on Wednesday 29th December by Cambodian troops, were arrested by Thai troops at 1 p.m today, Friday 31st December, at Phum Thmey village, Dong Mak Moun commune in Kork Tyoung district in Thailand's Sakeo province.
The same sources said that some Cambodian workers had escaped back into Cambodia, but many were arrested. The sources said that Cambodian authority continues to negotiate with the Thai authority to secure their release.
The Cambodian migrant workers came from the nearby Cambodian village of Chok Chey in O'Bei Choan commune, O'Chrov district in Banteay Meanchey province where 7 Thai nationals, including an MP from the ruling Democrat Party, were arrested on Wednesday and sent to Preysor Prison on Thursday.
Many Cambodians believe that the arrests of the Cambodian migrant workers by Thai troops seem to be in retaliation against the arrests and jailing of the 7 Thai nationals by the Cambodian authority.
