Read original

Summary

The armed forces’ High Command on September 25 rejected គឹម សុខ’s allegations concerning fallen soldiers and their families. It said the government and military had arranged traditional funerals and honoured all personnel killed defending the country.

គឹម សុខ posted on his official page alleging that Cambodia’s government had left fallen frontline soldiers’ bodies in forests without funerals and that authorities intimidated their families against asking about missing relatives. On September 25, the armed forces’ High Command issued a categorical denial and condemned the claims as distorted information. It characterised the dissemination as treasonous and intended to undermine morale and gravely insult the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, the nation and Cambodians facing violations of territorial integrity. These characterisations are the command’s position.

The command’s statement said the government, Ministry of National Defence and High Command had paid close attention to managing traditional funerals and providing benefits with the highest honours for all personnel killed in defence of the country.
