The Thai Patriots Network is pushing for its two members jailed in Cambodia to continue their appeal against their sentencing despite the Foreign Ministry saying they have already put in a request for a royal pardon.

The network’s secretary-general, Sunthorn Rakrong, said he had heard reports from the Foreign Ministry that network coordinator Veera Somkwamkid and his secretary, Ratree Pipatanapaiboon, had sought a royal pardon from Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni.

But he said nobody had seen the requests and nobody had met them in prison to ask them to confirm their intentions.

Mr Sunthorn said Mr Veera’s family had contacted the network and agreed that he and Ms Ratree should appeal against their sentences in court.
