BANGKOK, Dec 10 (TNA) – Several members of the Thai parliament from the opposition Puea Thai Party will go to Phnom Penh Monday to submit letters seeking a royal pardon for the Thai engineer sentenced to seven years prison on espionage charges to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, said party spokesman Prompong Nopparit Thursday.
Fugitive ousted Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra is liaising with the Cambodian premier to help gain the Thai national’s early release.
A Cambodian court earlier sentenced 31-year old Siwarak Chutipong to seven years prison and fined him 100,000 baht (US$3,000) for releasing flight details for Mr Thaksin, when he visited Phnom Penh last month on his first assignment as economic adviser to the Cambodian government and personal adviser to Mr Hun Sen.
