BREAKING: A Deep Betrayal โ 20 Cambodian Soldiers Captured After Ceasefire by Thai Forces
This is not just a violation of military conduct โ it is a betrayal of peace, honor, and international law.
On the morning of July 29, 2025, following a mutually agreed ceasefire, Thai soldiers approached the Cambodian frontline at Chom Trey, Preah Vihear, waving at our troops in a friendly and peaceful manner. Trusting in the spirit of peace, Cambodian soldiers stepped forward in good faith, welcoming them with smiles. The Thai soldiers even requested group photos, further convincing our troops of their sincerity.
But this was a calculated trap.
While our soldiers were standing peacefully for the photos, armed Thai troops hidden nearby rushed in, aimed their rifles, and captured our men at gunpoint.
- 1 soldier escaped during the chaos.
- 2 are believed killed.
- 17 others were taken hostage.
This shameful action was not only a clear violation of the ceasefire, but a cowardly act of deceit.
Cambodian soldiers have followed orders with discipline, dignity, and loyalty โ not only to their commanders but also to the principles of peace.
Thailandโs actions, however, show disrespect for peace, and dishonor their own people and the international community. They used peace as a disguise to commit a violent and premeditated act of betrayal.
This is not the first time.
While Cambodia has respected every ceasefire, Thailand has continued to provoke, deceive, and manipulate the truth.
In the early hours after the ceasefire, Thai forces still opened fire, trying to provoke retaliation.
They hide behind misleading headlines and blame-shifting, hoping to control the global narrative.
Meanwhile, Cambodia stands firm in dignity โ but dignity cannot go unanswered when met with betrayal.
We call for:
โ
An independent international investigation into this breach of ceasefire and the illegal detention of Cambodian soldiers.
โ
Global media and human rights organizations to raise their voices and demand accountability.
This is not just a border issue.
This is about truth. This is about justice. This is about peace.
๐ฐ๐ญ Cambodia will not be silent. The world must not turn away.
