Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has shown an intention to help Thai Patriots Network coordinator Veera Somkwankid and his secretary Ratree Pipattanapaiboon get a royal pardon, Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul said in New York on Tuesday.

Mr Surapong said the matter was raised for discussion with Hun Sen when Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and he visited Cambodia on Sept 15.

He said the Cambodian prime minister said he would help by reducing the jail terms handed down on them by the Phnom Penh Court to enable them to finally meet a requirement to seek a royal pardon.

#2: Hun Sen is the law in this country. That is why he in addition to the two Thai political prisoners can keep more than 200 political opponents in prison without a trial, some of them for more than 20 years.

Hun Sen has consitently said that Cambodian Law must be complied with, so he cannot change the sentences imposed by the court, and I think appeal process has been used up.

Seems to me that Surapong is trying to create the impression that Yingluck achieved something that she did not and by doing so is continuing to demonstrate his incompetence as FM.
