BANGKOK, Jan 9 (MCOT online news) -- Seven Thai citizens taken into custody by Cambodian soldiers late last month did not intend to intrude into Cambodia, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said in his Sunday broadcast, but he affirmed the government is doing everything possible to help the detainees.
He said that his government's actions to bring the seven home will not negatively impact Thailand's sovereignty.
Speaking during his weekly TV and radio address, Mr Abhisit urged Thais throughout the country to give moral support to the seven Thais arrested Dec 29, saying that they had no intention to intrude into Cambodia as they were there only to inspect earlier complaints by Thai villagers that they were unable to cultivate their farmland although they had land title deeds.
“It was found from the full video clip that the captured people intended to inspect land claimed to own by the villagers and to see the No. 46 border marker in Thailand. However, they were arrested before they reached the area,” Mr Abhisit said.
