Members of the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) on Saturday morning rallied in front of Government House, demanding the government to rapidly seek the release of the seven detained Thais, reports said.

The protesters showed placards saying they opposed the arrest of the seven Thais, including PAD co-leader Veera Somkwamkid and a Democrat MP, on charges of intruding Cambodian territory by Cambodian soldiers.

They called on the government to pressure Cambodia to release the seven Thais immediately and to rapidly settle the border dispute with the neighbouring country.

Police were deployed inside the government building compound and nearby areas to maintain peace and order.
