BANGKOK, Dec 6 (TNA) -- Former prime ministers Gen Chavalit Yongchaiyudh and Thaksin Shinawatra are prepared to assist a Thai engineer detained in Cambodia on spying charges and due to appear at his first hearing this Tuesday, said Prompong Nopparit, spokesman of the opposition Puea Thai Party on Sunday.
Both ex-prime ministers will employ their close personal contacts with the Cambodian government and coordinate with former foreign minister Noppadon Pattama in dealing with the government in Phnom Penh to free Siwarak Chutipong if he is found guilty, Mr Prompong said.
Fugitive, ousted former prime minister Thaksin has been appointed economic adviser to the Cambodian government.
Mr Siwarak, an employee of Cambodia Air Traffic Services (CATS), was arrested by Khmer police nearly a month ago on charges of passing information on the flight details of Mr Thaksin to Thai diplomats in Phnom Penh.
Mr Prompong said he would see the engineer’s mother, Simarak Na Nakhon Panom, when she leaves Bangkok for Cambodia early Monday. Mrs Simarak is expected to stay in Cambodia until the trial is over.
Lawyer Khieu Sambou is expected to seek a royal amnesty immediately if Mr Siwarak is found guilty, Mr Prompong said.

is for the benefit for their own people and their own country.
Premier Hun Sen ought to care about Cambodian people’s wellbeing like Thai government does about its citizens.
Many Cambodians have been shot and killed by Thai soldiers at the border recently and many more are still in Thai prison.
Leaders of Cambodian oppositions should also file complaints to proper authorities of both countries as well as the international community.
Abuses by Thailand and Vietnam are equally unacceptable.
All political parties need to put their politics aside and help inocent people.
when it comes to their citizens, thai and viet care about rgem, khmer don't. i have senn this over and over! khmer even pick on khmer than anyone else!
And some Khmers are brainwashed by Yuon like Ly Ngoc Dinh, keep bashing on their own Khmers every day in KI.
I agree with all of you.
