The United Kingdom supports Thursday Thailand's statement on Burma which called for the country to release all political prisoners including Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
UK Ambassador to Thailand Quinton Quayle said that UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown also condemned Burmese court's ruing on Suu Kyi which put her under house for another 18 months.
The envoy was speaking after visiting Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva at the Government House.
Speaking in Thai, Quayle said that the ruling did not help the reconciliation process in Burma.
The ruling which saw Suu Kyi under house arrest clearly showed that the junta wanted to block her from joining the national election in 2010.
