PHNOM PENH, Jan. 10 (AP) - (Kyodo)—Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday dismissed a possible political deal on the fate of a Thai ruling party lawmaker and six other Thai political activists who have been charged with illegally crossing into Cambodian territory late last month.
Speaking to a gathering of college students, Hun Sen said only the Cambodian courts have the right to decide the case.
"Intervention from any quarters will not be accepted at this moment," he said, adding that he does not expect the case to affect relations with Thailand.
Thai Democrat Party parliamentarian Panich Vikitsreth and six activists of the People's Alliance for Democracy allegedly crossed the border between Thailand's Sa Kaeo Province and Cambodia's Banteay Meanchey Province on Dec. 29 and were detained by Cambodian soldiers.
They were charged by a Cambodian court on Dec. 30 with entering Cambodia illegally and trespassing in a Cambodian military zone.
