The Thai engineer held in Cambodia for allegedly stealing flight information of fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra has sought to change his lawyer, claiming he is not satisfied with the present one's work.
Siwarak Chutipong, a Thai engineer detained in a Cambodian prison on charges of spying, has reportedly submitted a request seeking the replacement of his present Cambodian lawyer appointed by the Thai government after a meeting with his mother, Simarak Na Nakhon Panom, today.
Siwarak said his present Cambodian lawyer failed to do his work properly.
Noppadon Patthama, former legal adviser for ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, said the opposition Pheu Thai Party was not involved in the decision and noted if Siwarak is found guilty, his lawyer is eliglble to file a petition asking for a royal pardon from the Cambodian monarch.
