Play
Two Thais - a man and a woman - faced questioning in a Myanmar Court in Koh Song province Monday about drug charges.
The pair is among nine Thai detainees still imprisoned after the arrest of 92 people in July for illegal entry, encroaching on Myanmar territory and clearing land opposite Ranong in southern Thailand.
Some 83 others were pardoned recently after being found guilty by the Myanmar Court of illegal entry and encroachment on a local forest.
The two faced additional charges of possessing drugs. The court said yesterday it would rule on both defendants on October 1.
Seven others face charges of possessing war weapons.
