News - PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Cambodia’s
prime minister says at least 250,000 of his countrymen who were migrant workers
in Thailand returned home this month under circumstances that initially
violated their human rights.
Hun Sen accused Thai authorities of abusing their
rights when the exodus began in early June, but said that after complaints from
Cambodian authorities, they were treated in a more humane way.
The Cambodians returned home after the military took
power in Thailand in late May and announced a crackdown on illegal immigrants
and those employing them. The belief spread that all migrant workers, legal and
illegal, were at risk of arrest, and rumors circulated that some were beaten or
even shot by Thai soldiers.
Both countries are now seeking the migrants’ return to
Thailand, which has a shortage of low-wage workers.
