Three Thai nationals who were detained for illegal entry since August have been released from Cambodia prison to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Thailand-Cambodia diplomatic relation, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said Monday.
The three Surin residents Sanong Wongcharoen, Rim Phuangphet and Rain Sabdee were arrested in the middle of August while hunting for food in the forested area along the Thai-Cambodian border. They were sentenced for 18 months in the prison in Siem Reap province by Cambodian court.
They would arrive Thailand on Tuesday together with the army chief General Prayut Chanocha who was in Phnom Penh for introductory trip.
Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen disclosed that they were granted royal amnesty in occasion of the 60th anniversary of the bilateral relation, Kasit said.
