On August 17, Heng Ratana, director general of the Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC), questioned Thailand’s presentation to foreign observers. He said Thailand showed PMN-2 mines whose safety pins were still in place.
Heng Ratana said a mine with its safety pin in place could not function as an armed mine. He accused Thailand of misleading observers by presenting the displayed mines as evidence of mines Cambodia had planted inside Thailand.
He rejected the Thai allegation and argued the display did not substantiate it.
