Sivarak Chutipong, a Thai engineer freed from Cambodian jail on Monday said he had sleepless nights throughout his detention in a Phnom Penh jail.
Speaking to a Thai television reporter in Phnom Penh, Sivarak said he wanted to meet Kamrob Palawatwichai, first Secretary of Thai embassy in Phnom Penh who asked him to check flight plans of fugitive ex-Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Sivarak, sentenced to seven years in jail for stealing flight plans of Thaksin's November trip to Cambodia, was freed on Monday after receiving royal pardon from Cambodia's King Norodom Sihamoni.
"I could not sleep throughout my 32 nights in the jail. I was so worried that I may have to spend seven years in jail," he said in Phnom Penh.
He also said he wanted to ask Kamrob why Kamrob asked him about Thaksin's flight plans and why he wanted to know about them.
Kamrob was expelled from Cambodia a day before Sivarak was arrested for spying on Thaksin's flight plans in November.
Sivarak, an employee of Cambodian Air Traffic Control Services which control air traffic in Cambodia, told the Cambodian court that Kamrob asked him to check about Thaksin's flight. The court found him guilty of the charge as the flight information of Thaksin was considered confidential and could be a threat to the country's national security if it was released.
