Legal team meets Thai detainees in Phnom Penh
BANGKOK, Jan 10 (TNA) - A legal team met seven Thai detainees in Phnom Penh Monday morning (Jan 10) to find out more information--as part of Thailand's attempts to seek for their freedom.
The Thai legal team, who arrived in the Cambodian capital yesterday, earlier met Cambodian defence lawyers and the Thai ambassador in Phnom Penh for the same purpose.
A Cambodian court spent almost 12 hours last Thursday to question each of the seven Thai detainees, including a Bangkok MP of the ruling Democrat Party, Panich Vikitsreth, and a leading activist aligned with the yellow-shirt People's Alliance for Democracy or PAD, Veera Somkwamkid, who were arrested by Cambodian soldiers in a border area on December 29 and have been all detained since then on charges of illegally entering into the Cambodian territory.
The Phnom Penh court has not yet set the date for its next hearing on the case and Thailand's attempts to seek for the release on bail of the seven Thai nationals have not yet been fulfilled. (TNA)
