Justice Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga has ordered two high-level ministry officials to travel to Cambodia to visit Thai engineer Siwarak Chutiphong, who was arrested for spying last Wednesday, Department of Special Investigation director-general Tharit Pengdit said on Tuesday.
Mr Tharit said they are deputy justice permanent secretary Pol Col Tawee Sodsong and Suwana Suwannajutha, director-general of the Rights and Liberties Protection Department.
Mr Siwarak is being detained at Prey Sar prison. They had been instructed to visit him as soon as possible to make sure he is accorded his rights.
The Rights and Liberties Protection Department has also been assigned to contact Mr Siwarak's family and the Foreign Ministry to arrange legal assistance.
Thai officials will not interfere in Cambodia's investigation process, Mr Tharit said.
Mrs Suwana said will visit Mr Siwarak's mother, Seemarak na Nakhon Phanom, in Nakhon Ratchasima to find out if she wants any help.
