Probe urged into why Cambodian forces remained on Thai territory for over a week
10 Sept 17:06Key points summarised by AI
Political whistleblower Srisuwan Janya filed a complaint with the NACC, demanding an investigation into PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra and Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai.
The complaint alleges inaction against Cambodian forces who encroached 200 meters into Thai territory at Chong Bok pass for over a week following a May 28th clash, despite officials talking about negotiations.
Srisuwan claims this inaction by the prime minister and defence minister could constitute violations of Section 1 of the Constitution and Section 119 of the Criminal Code.
People’s party MP Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn cautioned that Cambodia might be provoking the conflict, violating MOU 43, to refer the issue to the International Court of Justice, despite current tensions easing for negotiations.
