Justice Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga has ordered two high-level officials to travel to Cambodia to visit Thai engineer Siwarak Chothpong who was arrested on spy charges last Wednesday, Department of Special Investigation director-general Tharit Pengdit said on Tuesday.
Mr Tharit said the two officials are Pol Col Tawee Sodsong, deputy permanent secretary for justice, and Suwana Suwannajutha, director-general of the Rights and Liberties Protection Department.
The two officials have been instructed to visit Mr Siwarak Chothpong, who is being detained at Prey Sar prison, as soon as possible to make sure that he is properly given human rights protection.
The Rights and Liberties Protection Department has also been assigned to contact Mr Siwarak's family and the Foreign Ministry to prepare to give him legal assistance. However, the Thai officials will ot interfere in Cambodia's investigation process, Mr Tharit said.
Mrs Suwana said while Pol Col Tawee will today coordinate work with the Foreign Ministry she will travel to see Mr Siwarak's mother, Seemarak na Nakhon Phanom, in Nakhon Ratchasima to find out if she wants any help.
