Thai authorities cannot arrest Thaksin on disputed soil: justice minister

Thaksin (R) with Hun Sen (L).

Justice Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga Friday admitted that the Thai authorities could not enter the disputed area near Preah Vihear Temple to arrest former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra if he goes there.

He was commenting on reports that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen would take Thaksin to tour the disputed area.

Pirapan said although the area is still under dispute, the Cambodian troops have taken control and Thai troops could not enter the area without coordinating with the Cambodian side first.

He said if the Thai authorities rush in to arrest Thaksin, the relation with Cambodia could further deteriorate.
