The government would seek the extradition of Sivarak Chutipong, the Thai engineer working at Cambodia Air Traffic Services who is accused of spying, to serve out his punishment in Thailand if the Cambodian court finds him guilty, Justice Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga said on Monday.
But Mr Pirapan said he was certain that Mr Sivarak was innocent.
Justice deputy permanent secretary Thawee Sodsong and chief of the Rights and Liberties Protection Department Suwanna Suwanchuta will travel to Cambodia on Monday evening to visit Mr Sivarak, he said. The two senior officials would also request a meeting with the Cambodian justice minister to discuss the legal aspects of the case.
Mr Sivarak must receive fair treatment from Cambodian law, which must conform to international legal standards, he added.
