BANGKOK, March 28 (Bernama) -- Concerned authorities are trying to secure freedom for four Thai detainees in neighbouring Cambodia, after they were arrested by Cambodian troops in Cambodia's Banteay Meancheay province on March 23 for allegedly illegal entry.
Sa Kaeo's Ta Phraya district Chief Yutthana Nutchanart said: "I am working closely with relevant Cambodian authorities to seek freedom for the four Thai detainees.
The detainees, who had reportedly appeared before Cambodia's Si Sophon Court, is expected to be set free soon, Thai News Agency quoted Nutchanart as saying.
The four Thai nationals, two employers and two workers of a gold mining company in Cambodia's Udon MeechaiOddar Meanchey province, were identified as 42-year-old Saran Parnphet, 42-year-old Suriya Parnphet who is Saran's wife, 24-year-old Bai Sodajan and 24-year-old Wanwisa Sodachan who is Bai's wife.
While, Sanit Naksuksi, Governor of Thailand's eastern Sa Kaeo province told reporters Tuesday, said the arrest of the four Thais would also be raised, among other issues, during this week's Thai-Cambodian Regional Border Committee Meeting in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
"An initial probe found that the four Thai nationals have been legally granted a concession to explore and run gold mines in Cambodia for more than two years and have often travelled across the border through the Bueng Ta Kuan-Ta Phraya border crossing, facilitated by Cambodian border patrol police," he said.
