The men were among a group of seven who entered the twisting narrow cave system in remote Saisambun Province on May 20, searching for gold.

They'd been stuck there since after flash flooding and a landslide cut off their way out.

But a post on the Thailand Rescue Diver Facebook page says four made their way out Saturday afternoon local time.

Another man was rescued on Friday.

In a video posted on one of the rescue workers' social media accounts, people cheered as the men emerged and were then covered by foil blankets as they received medical attention.

72-year-old Kem Sokai is the co-founder of the Cambodia National Rescue Party, which was banned by then Prime Minister Hun Sen's Supreme Court in 2017.

Just last month, he'd had an appeal of his 27-year sentence rejected, but has now been freed.

though he's still not allowed to leave the country or participate in politics for at least five years.

He was found guilty in 2023, accused of colluding with a foreign government to remove Hun Sen and the Cambodia People's Party from power, charges he denies.

Hun Sen served as prime minister for decades before stepping aside to let his son, Hun Manet, take the job in the essentially one-party state.

Judicial police have been trying to detain Senator Ronald De La Rosa, who's been shielded by allies since literally running from judicial police on their arrival at the Senate on Monday, where he sought and found refuge in his office after a brief chase.

The ICC has announced an arrest warrant for De La Rosa, who was a former national police chief under Duterte.

He was also chief in Davao City when Duterte was mayor there.

Thousands, if not tens of thousands, according to some human rights groups, were killed during Duterte's war on drugs, both as mayor of Davao and later as president.

He sits in a cell in The Hague awaiting trial.

The late-night television broadcast did not say where Suu Kyi was being moved to, only that she will, quote, now serve the remainder of her sentence at a specific home instead of in prison.

She had been sentenced by the coup makers to 33 years on what human rights groups called trumped-up charges designed to remove the wildly popular leader from politics for good.
