Thailand informs Cambodian, Vietnamese embassies on spy arrest

BANGKOK, June 10 (MCOT online news) – Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya on Friday said his ministry informed the Cambodian and Vietnamese embassies in Bangkok about the arrest of their nationals for alleged spying, affirming that legal action would be taken under Thai law.

Three men — one Thai, a Vietnamese and a Cambodian — were arrested by the Thai military authorities for alleged spying on this country’s military bases and bunkers for the local population in the border province of Si Sa Ket.

Mr Kasit said he instructed the Department of East Asian Affairs to continue to inform both embassies on details of the arrest and gave assurances that the case would proceed in accord with Thai law without any political intervention.

However, he would coordinate with police and the Office of the Attorney-General for the facts related to the case.
