4 December 1976

At the border bridge in Aranyaprathet, Thai officials hand over 26 Cambodian refugees to the Khmer Rouge: blindfolded and with their hands tied. The refugees, all male, had crossed the frontier into Thailand on 15 October and were sent back for “reasons of national security”

Khmer Rouge and Thai border guards clashed once again in Trat province. Two Cambodian soldiers were killed and three Thai guards seriously wounded. The thais blame the incident partly on poor communication between the Cambodian border province Ko Kong and PhnomPenh (photo 2): https://t.co/H5PsdNAKAd
