Phnom Penh Post, 11 august 2008
THAI soldiers have reoccupied the Ta Moan Thom temple and have prohibited Cambodian soldiers, government officials and journalists from entering the site, breaking an agreement reached a week ago that they would withdraw.
“Thai soldiers returned to the disputed site on August 8,” Ho Bunthy, deputy commander of Border Military Unit 402, said Sunday. “They have closed the gate to the temple. Only a few Cambodian civilians are allowed access and Cambodian soldiers who want to get into the temple must be wearing civilian clothes.”
