The Thai Patriots Network is hoping to mobilise thousands of people to join a rally in Sa Kaeo tomorrow to increase the pressure on Phnom Penh to release seven Thais being held for alleged illegal entry into Cambodia.

Supporters in Bangkok will gather at Government House at noon today before travelling to Sripen Road in Sa Kaeo. Network co-leader Chaiwat Sinsuwong expects at least 5,000 people to join the protest.

The seven being held in Phnom Penh include Democrat Party MP for Bangkok Panich Vikitsreth and a leading member of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), Veera Somkwamkid.

Mr Panich is a serving member of the Joint Boundary Committee which is made up of representatives from Thailand and Cambodia.
