SISAKET 18 April 2013 – An activist group
has gathered at the Thai-Cambodia border in Sisaket province to put up a
Thai flag in the area of Khao Phra Viharn national park, but was turned
away by Thai security officials.
The activists, who had an agenda of “reclaiming Phra Viharn”, were
intercepted by policemen, soldiers and local security volunteers at a
checkpoint. The group tried to convince the security officials to let
them up to Mo-e-daeng cliff so they could put up the flag, but the
negotiation was unsuccessful due to officials’ concern for their safety.
In the end, the activists gave the flag to the officials and asked that soldiers help to put the flag up instead.
Afterwards, Army Area 2 commanding-general Chirasak Chomprasop said
much consideration has to be made before deciding whether to put up the
flag at Mo-e-daeng cliff. He also asserted that neither Thailand nor
Cambodia has ever put up a flag within the disputed 4.6-square-kilometer
area around Phra Viharn Temple.

Most of these people are coming from other part and not from the border areas. They should get first the permit from the Sisaket province athority, before they demonstrated.
Khmer MUST shoot these bastards just like they have shot innocent Kkhmer that have crossed the border illegally.
