The Thai Patriots Network on Thursday submitted a letter to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva asking the government to seek the extradition of Veera Somkwamkid under the terms of the extradition treaty with Cambodia.

The letter was submitted by Sunthorn Rakrong, a TPN coordinator, through Kiatfa Laohapornsawan, a vice minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office.

The TPN wants the government to ask Cambodia to extradite Mr Veera, who faces charges in Thailand in connection with the People's Alliance for Democracy 's (PAD) seizure of Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports in late 2008.

Mr Sunthorn said if the Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Feb 1 found Mr Veera guilty of espionage and sentenced him to imprisonment, he feared this could lead to violence.
