A Cambodian prosecutor told a Cambodia court Tuesday that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is a Cambodian citizen so his flight schedule could not be made public.

The prosecutor was showing to the court that it was illegal for a Thai engineer, Siwarak Chutipong, to ask for information of Thaksin's flight schedule from air controller staff.

The prosecutor said Thaksin is an advisor to the Cambodian government, he is regarded as a Cambodian citizen and his flight schedule information could not be disclosed although it is public information.

The prosecutor said the information was also related to the Cambodian security.
