A Cambodian court charged seven Thais - including a politician - with illegally entering Cambodian territory after they were detained near the countries' disputed border.
"The court has charged them with illegally crossing the border and entering a military area with ill will," said Sok Roeun, deputy prosecutor at Phnom Penh Municipal Court.
The seven, including lawmaker Panich Vikitsreth of the ruling Democrat Party, appeared at a closed-door hearing at the court, a day after being detained.
The incident has rekindled diplomatic tensions between the neighbors over their long-standing border dispute.
