The government is doing all it can to free seven Thais being held in a Cambodian prison, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva says.
Mr Abhisit said after the cabinet meeting yesterday that all contacts at the Foreign, Justice and Defence ministries were being deployed to help the seven.
However, the prime minister made it clear that no high-level contact with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen was needed at this time as it could only complicate the issue.
"This incident happened at the border. It will be best if the judicial process does not take too long," he said.
The issue was tabled yesterday at the cabinet meeting attended by top-level security officers.
The seven Thais being held at Prey Sor prison outside Phnom Penh are expected to appear in court tomorrow. They include Democrat MP for Bangkok Panich Vikitsreth and Veera Somkwamkid, a leading member of the People's Alliance for Democracy.
