Ex-prime ministers ready to help Thai jailed in Cambodia

BANGKOK, Dec 6 (TNA) -- Former prime ministers Gen Chavalit Yongchaiyudh and Thaksin Shinawatra are prepared to assist a Thai engineer detained in Cambodia on spying charges and due to appear at his first hearing this Tuesday, said Prompong Nopparit, spokesman of the opposition Puea Thai Party on Sunday.
Both ex-prime ministers will employ their close personal contacts with the Cambodian government and coordinate with former foreign minister Noppadon Pattama in dealing with the government in Phnom Penh to free Siwarak Chutipong if he is found guilty, Mr Prompong said.
Fugitive, ousted former prime minister Thaksin has been appointed economic adviser to the Cambodian government.
