A Cambodian Government spokesman on Tuesday rejected an opposition claim that the Sivarak Chutipong case is political ruse by Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The rejection comes after Sam Rainsy alleged that the Sivarak case was staged.
“Sam Rainsy never led the nation, that is why he said like this,” Khieu Kahnarith told DAP News Cambodia on Tuesday.
“Thai citizens will know and understand Cambodia’s dignity,” he added.
The official lamented that Bangkok government had not responded to Sivarak’s concerns.
Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thau- gsuban said on Tuesday that he would make no further comment on the case involving Sivarak Chutipong, the Thai engineer convicted of spying in Cambodia who returned to Thailand on Monday after being granted a royal pardon by King Norodom Sihamoni, accor- ding to the Bangkok Post on Tuesday.
He earlier said the incident was a conspiracy by the Puea Thai party and ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra to discredit the government and boost the popularity of the convicted former prime minister, who arrived in Cambodia on Sunday to arrange for Sivarak’s release.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday morning gave a pardon letter to Siwarak Chutipong, a Thai man convicted spying on Thailand’s fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, in front of his mother, Simark Na Nakhom Panom, and some Phue Thai members at Hun Sen´s house.
