Thailand Uses Large Loudspeakers to Harass Border Villagers, Information Minister Says

PHNOM PENH – Information Minister Neth Pheaktra said at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 17 that Thailand began playing four large loudspeakers, creating a deafening noise in front of Chouk Chey village, O Bei Chon commune, O Chrov district, once again disturbing residents.

Pheaktra, citing sources, said the sound from these devices was even louder than the speakers used during the nights of Oct. 10–13, when Thailand broadcast ghost-like sounds across the disputed border. The repeated psychological harassment by Thai extremists has drawn widespread criticism, as such actions constitute intimidation and are condemned globally under the Convention Against Torture.
