The government is doing its best within the limits of the law to help the Thai engineer accused of spying in Cambodia, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said on Monday.
Sivarak Chutipong, an employee of Thai-owned Cambodia Air Traffic Services (CATS), was arrested on Nov 12 on charges of passing a state secret to Thai diplomatic officials - flight information about fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra when he visited Phnom Pehn. Mr Sivarak is being held in Prey Sar prison.
The foreign minister said Mr Sivarak had been consulting his Cambodian lawyer, Kao Soupha.
"In addition, a lawyer from the Lawyers Council of Thailand is available to help Mr Sivarak, who insists he is innocent," Mr Kasit said.
