The government will be asked to seek a royal pardon from the Cambodian king for Veera Somkwamkid, a Thai Patriots Network coordinator, and his secretary Ratree Pipattanapaiboon, who are serving a jail sentence after a Phnom Penh court convicted them of illegal entry and espionage, TPN lawyer Nathaporn Toprayoon said on Thursday.
Mr Nathaporn said he had dropped plans to file an appeal and seek intervention by an international organisation. His clients’ relatives were concerned about their living conditions in prison and wanted them to return to Thailand as soon as possible.
The lawyer also admitted to having encountered problems trying to help the two through legal means, including in lodging an appeal, saying the Cabodian authorities did not cooperate.
The problems had worsened since the Feb 4 clashes on the Thai-Cambodian border, he said.
