Cambodian begging families to be repatriated from Vietnam.

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Homeless Children Back From Vietnam
Twenty-nine homeless Cambodians, including 20 children, will be rappatriated from Ho Chi Minh City today.
Apart from the children, the group consists of nine adults – three men and six women. Of the 20 children, 10 are boys and 10 are girls, according to Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Chum Sunry.

They will enter the Kingdom through the Bavet border checkpoint before traveling to the department of social affairs in Svay Rieng City, Mr. Sunry added.

Nineteen of those to be repatriated are from Svay Rieng’s Chantria district, while nine are from Kampong Roh district. One is from Tbong Khmom province.

All 20 were allegedly in Vietnam begging for money and selling lottery tickets before being arrested by Vietnamese authorities and sent to Ho Chi Min City’s Social Salvation Center, where they were fed and treated kindly, Mr. Sunry said.

“As of July, the Cambodian consular in Ho Chi Minh City has repatriated a total of 138 Cambodian homeless and illegal lottery salespeople who were arrested by Vietnamese authorities. Most of them were children who followed their mother or their elders and were living along the border with Vietnam,” he added...

Last year, the number of homeless children assisted by provincial departments of social affairs was 2,437, of whom 715 were girls, according to a Ministry of Social Affairs report.
Of the homeless children assisted in 2015, the majority were residents of Phnom Penh, with 964 from the capital. The second largest number came from Banteay Meanchey, with 242 from the province. An additional 200 homeless children were from Prey Veng, while 131 were from Svay Rieng, the report said.

It's interesting how Cambodians are 'repatriated' from Vietnam, but Vietnamese are (mostly) deported from Cambodia.

Cambodians Repatriated From Vietnam

Twenty-six Cambodian nationals who entered Vietnam illegally to beg and sell lottery tickets were arrested and sent to a social rescue center in Ho Chi Minh City last week, with a senior Foreign Ministry official saying on Friday that the group will be repatriated tomorrow.

“The Cambodian consulate in Ho Chi Minh City informed us that 26 Cambodians [11 males and 15 females], including seven elderly people and 19 children, who entered Vietnam to beg and sell illegal lottery tickets were detained, rounded up and offered food at the Ho Chi Minh Social Rescue Center,” ministry spokesman Chum Sounry said on Friday, adding that 24 of them are from Svay Rieng province, one is from Kandal province and the other is from Kampong Speu province...
