BANGKOK, Dec 30, 2010 (MCOT online news) - Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Thursday demanded the immediate release of seven Thais, including one ruling party politician, who were detained by Cambodian troops near the countries' disputed border.
The apprehended Thais, including Democrat Party member of parliament Panich Vikitsreth and members of the so-called 'Yellow Shirt' protest movement, were to appear in court in Phnom Penh on Thursday on charges of illegally entering Cambodia a day earlier.
"Cambodia must release all seven Thais immediately," Mr Abhisit was quoted as saying by French news agency Agence France-Presse. "Cambodia should not take this case to court as it will further complicate the issue."
Mr Abhisit said the Thai foreign minister will fly to Cambodia today to meet his Cambodian counterpart to discuss the issue.
