Veera, Ratree will have served 2 years this week

The chances of two Thai activists being freed early from Cambodia's Prey Sar Prison still look uncertain, two years after they started serving jail terms for espionage and illegal entry.

The government has tried several times to negotiate the release of Veera Somkwamkid and his secretary Ratree Pipattanapaiboon, but has made no progress.

The issue was not discussed directly at the Thai-Cambodian Joint Commission for Bilateral Cooperation meeting held in Bangkok yesterday. The meeting had been suspended for almost two years, a Foreign Ministry source said.

"Mr Surapong also vowed to help Veera,.."

Veera and Ratree should thank their leaders Chamlong and Limtongkul, and the Dems (who did nothing apart from trying to start a war with Cambodia) for abandoning them.

The ill-fortune of their two comrades have opened the eyes of the PAD deks. Don't count on the PAD leaders if something goes wrong when following their instructions.

Hopefully the PTP government can negotiate for their safe return. I think they have served enough time for a silly expedition.
