Navy loggers opened fire: NGO
NGO Wildlife Alliance has publicly accused members of the Royal Cambodian Navy of opening fire on patrolling rangers on the Tatai river in Koh Kong’s Smach Meanchey district after they tried to seize an allegedly illegal shipment of rosewood. At about 11pm on October 10, a patrol team approached the naval boat, which was caught in mud during low tide, when the alleged traffickers leapt out and sought refuge in a nearby rainforest, a statement published on Wildlife Alliance’s website claims. … An official with the NGO unauthorised to speak with the press confirmed the organisation had submitted a lawsuit to the provincial court and governor along with the Ministry of National Defence. …
