Trespass without intent to violate Cambodian sovereignty will be the key defence of the seven Thais detained in Cambodia on charges of illegal entry, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya says.
The Cambodian court will today begin hearing the illegal entry cases against the seven. Thai officials expect the trial will proceed quickly.
Two lawyers appointed by the Thai embassy to Cambodia will defend the seven. They will contend the suspects did not intend to violate Cambodian sovereignty. Rather, their intention was to look at land lots owned by Thais which are adjacent to the Cambodian border, Mr Kasit said.
