MCOT online news

BANGKOK, April 4 - The families of two Thai Patriots Network activists detained in Cambodian prison for espionage charges on Monday sought help from the opposition Puea Thai Party and convicted ousted Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra to get them out of jail.

The latest move by the families of detained Veera Somkwamkid and his secretary Ratree Pipattanapaiboon came nearly a month after Mr Veera's mother met with Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajia seeking concrete government assistance to help her son on March 8.

Wilaiwan and Preecha Somkwamkid, together with Varisa Pipattanapaiboon, submitted letters to Mr Thaksin through his legal advisor Noppadon Pattama and Puea Thai party spokesman Prompong Nopparit seeking their help to gain the release of the activists who have been in Cambodian jail for four months.

Mrs Wilaiwan said there has been no progress on the release of her son during the past four months and that she fell ill after she found out that Mr Veera was sick when she visited him.
