The People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) on Sunday issued a statement calling on the government to force Cambodia to free seven detained Thais without any condition.
PAD said in its statement that there are evidences showing that the seven Thais were arrested in Thailand’s territory. It condemned individuals who had told reporters that the Thais had entered into Cambodian territory.
The condemned individuals also included Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, Defence Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwon and Sakaeo provincial governor Sanit Naksuksri.
PAD condemned the government and Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva for failing to use their authorities to pressure Cambodia to free seven Thais.
The yellow-shirt people group also condemned Prime Minister Hun Sen, Cambodian government and soldiers for arresting the Thais in Thailand’s territory and brought them into Cambodia court, despite Thailand had helped Cambodian refugees during the civil war in the neighbouring country.
“As the seven Thais had not trespassed Cambodian territory, PAD called on the government and the prime minister of the kingdom of Thailand to protect the country’s dignity by refusing to accept the ruling on the Thais’ case by Cambodia court.
In addition, the government must deliver an official ultimatum to Cambodia and introduce solid measures to pressure the neighbour to free seven Thais without any condition”, the statement said.
