BURI RAM : Residents living near a disputed area of the Thai-Cambodian border have formed a group to protest against a government relocation order.
The locals, who live near the Preah Vihear temple in Ban Kruat district, have been ordered to vacate their land and move away from the border area for security reasons.
Calling themselves Kloom Khon Thai Mai Rub Kham Tadsin San Loke (a group of Thais who will not accept the International Court of Justice ruling), the residents say they are upset that the government has ordered them to move even though the ICJ has yet to rule on the border dispute.
