Soldiers kill boy caught logging in Thailand, district governor says.

Oddar Meanchey officials Sunday accused Thai soldiers of shooting a Cambodian teenager and burning him alive.

Yon Rith, 16, was killed after Thai armed forces accused him of illegally felling trees, said Thon Nol, governor of Samrong district in Oddar Meanchey province.

Thon Nol said Yon Rith was first arrested and then burned. Another teenager from the same village in Kon Kreal commune, 18-year-old Mao Kleung, was also shot and seriously wounded, he said, but villagers managed to carry him to Cambodian territory, and he is is now in an Oddar Meanchey hospital.

Officials on Sunday denounced the violence as "cruel" acts carried out on unarmed villagers.

"Why did they burn a person alive? [The armed forces] should have arrested them if they did anything wrong in Thailand," said Pich Ratana, a Cabinet official in Oddar Meanchey.

"Our armed forces did not shoot Thai citizens when they were hunting animals in the Cambodian forest. They just arrested them and sent them back, but Thai soldiers do cruel things to innocent Cambodians," Pich Ratana said.

Thon Nol said officials would discuss the incident today.

"We are looking for all measures to assist the victims as well as actions on the Thai authority," Thon Nol said.

Thai Embassy officials could not be reached for comment Sunday.

Nanh Sovann, a Cambodian military officer who has worked with the Thai military, said Sunday he had heard of the incident but was waiting to see an official report before intervening.

The victim's family recovered his charred body and took it to their village for a funeral the day he was shot, Thon Nol said.

Thai officials have previously taken a heavy hand against Cambodians accused of illegal logging on Thai territory, particularly along the Oddar Meanchey border.

In August, 12 Cambodians were arrested along the border on suspicion of illegally logging.

Their disappearance initially prompted fears they had been killed, but the Thais have since revealed the men are in detention.

Two other men, however, were discovered dead last month. The Thai military said soldiers fired on the group in self-defence.

thats inhumane.. btw i don't think khmer leur consider themself khmer anymore.

Thais doesn't want to associate themself with anything Khmer in many level because they are looked down by the Laotian and the chinese from china as dark ugly indian goblins.

STFU you act like Khmers don't look down on them

Please discuss! Thai cruelty toward the Cambodians are well documented through out the 1980's ranging from the Preah Vihear Massacare to atrocities inside the refugee holding camps. Who committed the actual killings of the Cambodian people? Are they the Thais of Khmer Surin ancestry or what? I ask because according to Lemongrass, a Thai citizen of Khmer ancestry, said that the Khmer Surin people prefer joining the Thai military to doing businesses. If the Khmer Surin are killing their Cambodian brothers from Cambodia, then the Khmer race is hopeless and gone! Khmer kill Khmer is nothing new and it is a disease that can't be cured. This self-hate must stope if the people of Khmer ancestry must go on as a race. I bet ah Khmer Lieu also hate Khmer people as well.

I really wonder what went on in your little brain, lord Preahvehear? I would normally ignore what you post and just read what others wrote instead, because you ceased to have relevency here. However, when you used my name and suggested that I have said certain things that I did not say or you make something up to slander me; I have to pause and tell you to correct your actions. If you are going to quote me, then do it accordingly as per what I wrote. I am sure you can do that very well, lord cut-n-paste. It seems that you have something against Khmer people. You spoke as if you are not Khmer yourself. You seem removed from what you are saying. Maybe you are an Eskimo. Just read what you wrote when you sober up and you will see what I am talking about. Just in case you don't know, which you seem to not know, Khmer from Odar Meanchey are Khmer Leur too. From what you have been doing all this time, tells me that you have not live in Cambodia to know what is going on. So the moment that someone wrote something that happen along the border, right away you assume that the "Khmer Surin" did it. It goes to show what state of mind you are in.

You act like thais and laos are all light skinned people. There are also dark ones too. Its just the region SEA is in. Some are light some are dark. So dont be such a Bias.

I have seen Hmong that looks like india and very dark short and ugly at hmong new year LOL!!!!!! And alot of them trying to be Korean which is like where is the real hmong style?????

Talking about yourself is not right. You know that when you come to Hmong New Year, you look like a complete moron. lol
Trying to be Korean? You're probably insecure about how ugly you are that we have more styles in fashion than you.

You must be confused about who you are. Why do you Lao always deny how dark your people are? Anyone can tell when they go to Laos.
Laos have the flat-face, bumpy wide nose features. It's not hard.

I love my Khmer people, and it is YOU who have countless problems at so many different levels against the Khmer people of Cambodia. Even offering a humanistic feeling for the burnt Khmer victim stated in the article you can't even do it. This shows how immorally numb your are toward the Khmer people from Cambodia. You said it yourself that the Thai army is composed of mainly of Thai nationals of Khmer Surin ethnic. You again even said that during the Thai fighting against Cambodia over the Preah Vihear Temple, the Thai soldiers of Khmer Surin ethnic were ordered to kill the Khmer people of Cambodia. You said that you and your family members MUST obey the orders of the Thai commanders to kill the Khmer of Cambodia. This act of Khmer Killing Khmer must stop! The Khmer Surin killed too many Khmer from Cambodia already back in the late 1979 and 1980's and perhaps in the 1990's. Now they kill again in the 2000's. So what have you got to say for yourself, if the victims continue to be the Khmer from Cambodia time and time again! Now I look at any members of the Khmer Surin very differently. The question is, how many Khmer victims from Cambodia, did you kill over your life time of being a soldier?

Anyone from East asia look down those khmer because of indian look and very negro color skin.

wtf. The topic is on how fu-king cruel thai is, so stay on the topic. The victim deserve justice and a voice. What if that victim was one of your own, or a friend, or whatever. Its just a human being trying to make a living or whatever and got kill over chopping some trees and his body also set on fire? Now how inhumane is that for another human being to do? and the kid is only 16. The land of the smile my @$$! That is cruel thai!

I hope its not some sort of anger over the lost of Preah Vihear temple. Because it show how much of a sour grapes these individual/ethnic are.

The Phnom Penh Post again. Ha ha ha ha ha.

When a US teenager was about to get canned in Singapore, there was an uproar on the Capitol Hill. Special envoys were commissioned to save the boy's bakside from Singapore's bamboo stick.

Sadly, I highly doubt that Hun Sen or any of his clowns (cronies) will make any attempt to find justice for this Cambodian boy and his family. A life of a village boy means nothing to these so-called govt officials.

[b]Remember when a Cambodian govt official was shot to pieces on Cambodian territorial water by some Vietnamese scums (millitary) a few months earlier?!?!?! Well, there was not a peep from Hun Sen either. [/b]

In Cambodia you vote to survive. No one really represents you.

Typical Siem hooker always says the same shiiit and denies responsibility and truth as expected. A Siem prostitute internally infested with veneral diseases was asked by a customer, "Are you clean and healthy?". The Siem prostitute said, "Yes, I am as clean as Thailand's king's face."

You are the fine example of a lone virgin who can't get laid and frustrated with the world. What does talking about Siem hookers and the King's face have anything to do with the death of a teenager from Odar Meanchey? In the Newspaper article, it did not say it was definitely Thai soldiers, Khmer Surin soldiers or anyone in particular. I would be very cautious in believing whatever these tabloid papers published. The last time people listen to one of these papers with their unsubstantiated news, they went out and destroyed the Thai Embassy and businesses in Cambodia. At the end, Cambodia itself have to pay for the damages. It is a tragedy that people die, and it must be proven with substantive evidence before you go around pointing fingers. I actually feeling sorry for the Khmer Leur who are being blame by you for the death of another Khmer Leur from Odar Meanchey. By the way, those people have relatives on both sides of the borders. As for you slandering me, I will talk to you later in person. I have about five months left in Iraq, before returning to the US for a break. I will find you. I am still waiting for the acknowledgment from the Cambodian Officials, to hear the definite news. The article that followed the first one said that the deceased was later buried. By common practice, Khmer people do not bury our dead. We cremate them and keep their ashes in the temple or at home. You are a really tough guy on the internet and I sure like to meet you in person. Catch you later!

That is all you have to say? So when do the Khmer exclusively cremate their deads? Khmer Angkor didn't bury their deads. Khmer Chenla didn't bury their deads. Khmer Nokor Phnom didn't bury their deads. Khmer Democratic Kampuchea didn't bury their deads. It is a choice, you crazy dawg. The question remains: How many Khmer people from Cambodia have you killed during your life time of being a soldier in the Thai army? Regarding you want to meet me, you are simply of a different class. Khmer people stick within their own class and you certainly are of a definitely different class.

Lemongrass, I didn't know few offending words would've really intimidated you this much. Shouldn't we all get along? All I want is to see you return home safely with a smile on your face. Never hold the grudge against them, not worth any of your time. And "PEACE in the MidEast", brother...

I am not in the Thai Army. I am in the US military. Like I said, I will see you when I return from Iraq. Catch you later Eskimo Pie!

Sure thing, DAWG! The question remains: How many Khmer people from Cambodia have you killed during your CAREER as a soldier in Southeast Asia. Check your other posts in case you have forgotten your statement. Do what you must do, DAWG!

I can't believe Thailand is still letting those terrorists wear their military uniforms and have guns.

khmer killing khmer , why you care ?

Lemongrass, I didn't know few offending words would've really intimidated you this much. Shouldn't we all get along? All I want is to see you return home safely with a smile on your face. Never hold the grudge against nobody, not worth any of your time. And "PEACE in the MidEast", brother...

I know I know, that sounds "lame", but anyway hope you the best out there...wherever you are.

Words do not intimidate, it may be offensive, and at times slanderous. However, when one accuse another of killing and in this case an entire ethnic people, its a terrible thing. This is all based on an unsubstantiated reporting. This preahvihear person is a very immature character. I just wanted to meet him in person and see how tough he really is in real life. There is no grudge I just like hold people for their actions. He think it is fun and game, what he does not know is that I can trace his IP address and find him.
I'll be smiling when I'm in Thailand for the whole October, and about "PEACE in the MidEsat" keep on wishing. I see it with my own eyes. Those were empty glasses because there is no alcohol in Islamic country like Iraq.

It isn't difficult to buy military uniform.

I don't know Bro, PreaVihear to me, he's pretty cool dude, though his few intimidated statements did give a few knuckleheads a bust but I don't think he really meant to do all this just to diss you. Again, it's not even worth your time reminiscing these things. Accusing is just the act of imputing blame or guilt which doesn't reflect any of your act past, present or future, why sweat about it? We all know you serve and we honor deep from our hearts for your courages, let's all just chill Out.

Hey, Mr. Siam, stop kissing @$$ to Khmer peeps just because you are lonely and that no Thai (aka Jek) members don't get along with you. I know your lips is on the right @$$, but you need to get along with your own peeps.
