NPP: Revoke Thai-Cambodian MoU


via CAAI

Published: 14/01/2011

The New Politics Party has called on the government to revoke the memorandum of understanding on the border signed by Thailand and Cambodia in 2000 and to press Cambodia to release the five Thais still detained at Prey Sar prison in Phnom Penh.

Representatives of the New Politics Party, founded by the yellow-shirt People's Alliance for Democracy, went to Government House on Friday morning to submit a letter to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.

They demanded the government revoke the 2000 MoU on the Thai-Cambodian border and the Thai-Cambodian Joint Border Commission, as they believed Cambodia violated Thai sovereignty.

They wanted the Cambodian government free all seven arrested Thais unconditionally.

The seven, including Democrat MP Panich Vikitsreth and yellow-shirt activist Veera Somkwamkid, have been charged with trespassing on Cambodian territory and intruding into a military zone on Dec 29.

Two of the seven - Mr Panich and yellow-shirt member Narumol Jitrawarattana - have been released on bail by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday.

Mr Veera, who has previously been arrested for illegal entry into Cambodia, and a woman, have also been charged with spying.
