Phetchaburi Senator Sumon Sutawiriyawat and five supporters have written to Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra asking her help to gain the release of two Thai nationalist activists jailed in Cambodia.
Veera Somkwamkidand and Ratree Pipattanapaiboon were arrested together with five other Thai nationals, including Democrat Party MP Panich Vikitsreth, on December 29 while inspecting a disputed border area near Sa Kaew province's Ban Nongchan.
They are being held in Prey Sar prison near Phnom Penh after being sentenced to eight and six years jail, respectively, on charges of espionage.
Five members of the group were freed after pleading guilty to trespassing and received suspended jail terms from the Cambodian court.
Yingluck said she would coordinate with agencies overseeing this case to help the two Thais.

Should let that two live in Prey Sor the rest of their lives. They think they are better than Khmer, therefore, let them stay there,and charge every grain of rice they consume by let them work such as cleaning clogging toilet in Phnom Phen residents! Every 10 toilets they clean, each will get a bowl of rice, another 10, will give some salty fish. They can drink as much water they want-some how we have to show compassion that we are better than these two animal even though they are thinking that we are not better then them.
Those two Thais are our distinguished guests. Let them enjoy all the hospitality that Prey Sar has to offer!
