Thai Engineer's Mother Seeks Help from Pheu Thai Party

Thai- ASEAN News Network

The mother of the jailed Thai engineer in Cambodia has asked the Phue Thai Party to assist in her son's case.

The government claims that it is not embarrassed and is fully sympathetic with the mother.

Simalak Na Nakhon Panom, the mother of the jailed Thai engineer in Cambodia, traveled to Pheu Thai Party headquarters to seek assistance from former Foreign Minister, Noppadol Pattama and a legal adviser.

Simalak said that she is concerned about the well-being of her son and is willing to resort to any mean to ensure her son's release.

She believes that the Foreign Affairs Ministry is slowly proceeding with the case and therefore she has contacted the Phue Thai Party for help.

Noppadol added that this is not about politics or an attempt to embarrass the government but rather a humanitarian effort.

Noppadol also said that when he was contacted by Simalak, he immediately called his contact in Cambodia.

According to the former foreign minister, the Cambodian government has agreed to let Simalak visit her son again within the next two or three days without going through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Noppadol insists that this has nothing to do with former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinnawatra's appointment as an economic adviser to Cambodia and that the Pheu Thai Party is willing to fully assist a fellow Thai.

Secretary of Foreign Affairs Ministry, Chawanont Intarakomalsut claims that the government is doing its best in the case and is sympathetic with the Thai engineer's mother.

Many have criticized the government for proceeding with the case too slowly.

He said that the Foreign Affairs Ministry must follow legal protocol. The government is not embarrassed by this and will continue to assist the Thai engineer.
