Xinhua, August 28, 2015 Adjust font size:

Cambodia expelled 15 Vietnamese men to their birth country on Friday for illegally living and working in Cambodia, an immigration officer said.

Uk Heisela, chief of the general department of immigration's investigation and procedure department, said the authorities arrested them in Phnom Penh capital and the provinces of Takeo, Banteay Meanchey and Kandal earlier this week.

"They were deported to their country through Bavet International Border Checkpoint Friday morning because they had lived and worked in Cambodia without passports or work permits," he said.

According to the official, during the first seven months of this year, the country had expelled nearly 1,500 illegal immigrants to their birth countries, 90 percent of the deportees are Vietnamese. Endi
