Three Thai villagers arrested and sentenced to jail for spying in Cambodia have been released from a Siem Reap prison following a royal pardon from King Norodom Sihamoni, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya says.
The release of the three men is to mark the 60th anniversary of established diplomatic relations between the two countries, he said.
Mr Kasit, who was in Cambodia to celebrate the anniversary, said yesterday the three would return to Thailand today with army commander-in-chief Prayuth Chan-ocha.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen confirmed the release yesterday to a group of Thai journalists who met him at his government office compound to join the celebration of the relationship.
