THE NATION ON SUNDAY
Lawyers from the Thailand Patriots Network will ask a Cambodian court to postpone the reading of a verdict from this Tuesday in the case against two Thais charged with trespassing and espionage.
They said they had not collected sufficient information and proof to be presented to the court in order to defend Veera Somkwamkid and Ratri Pipattanapaiboon.
TPN legal adviser Wanwipa Charoonroj said the group’s lawyers were unable to survey the border area where Cambodian soldiers arrested the two and five other Thais on December 29. Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban had not granted permission for a survey of the area despite Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva ordering state agencies to help facilitate the lawyers’ travel to the disputed border area.
Suthep acted as caretaker prime minister while Abhisit was attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
