OHCHR to be asked to intervene for two Thais held in Cambodia



Wednesday, February 09, 2011
The Nation

The defence plans to seek the intervention of the Office of Untied Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to release two Thais convicted for illegal entry and spying in Phnom Penh, lawyer Natthaporn Toprayoon said on Wednesday.

The trial and verdict for Veera Somkwamkid and Ratree Pipapatanapaiboon were unjust," he said, explaining why the defence wants to involve the OHCHR.

Natthaporn said the petition will be submitted to the OHCHR next week.

He said the defence will take a two-tracked strategy - involving the OHCHR and appealing to overturn the verdict and sentencing.

In regard its next step in the litigation, the defence was waiting to obtain the official copy of the verdict before filing for a bail review and launching the appellate review.

Last week, the Phnom Penh Court of First Instance found Veera and Ratree guilty and sentenced them to serve eight and six years in jail respectively.

This issue should only be dealt with bilaterally (between Cambodia and Thailand).

This guy should be dressed up in yellow in jail. That's why he is so angry which is good to see. Make him work for Cambodian as a laborer for a dollar a day.

Keep them in Jail. They ( Veera and his secretary) are trouble makers. These two denied they were not inside Cambodia. The other five admitted that they were inside Cambodia. They were released from Jail and returned to Thai.

PAD and Abhisit started the WAR.

The Office of Untied Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has NO legal steps to interfere in such a case. Thais leaders are desperate to get help for the Thai wrong doers in Cambodia.

Friendliness, courtesy and consideration would have been much helpful to their fellow citizens. But even this one guy, the yellow shit leader, who is now in prison in Cambodia has been foolishly and courageously RUDE. Just look at the picture one can hear his rude voice with so much arrogence. That is a pure STUPIDITY. Add twenty five more years to the original sentence.

people who kept on bring up the bias phrase "bilateral talks" must explain what they mean by that! to us khmer preah vihear issue and bilateral trade are two separate issues. and it's not the issue! the real issue is siem violation of the international treaty map of 1907 and the icj verdict of 1962! that's the real issue, so, stop bring up bilateral bullshit with cambodia right now, because it is meaningless to us, ok! what they mean by "bilateral"? don't even think about telling cambdoia to tolerate and accept siem's violation of the internatiional treaty map of 1907 because that is the map that help to settle all the present border demarcation and without this international treaty map of 1907, there is no borderline so we will claim all of our old khmer provinces back from the thief who stole them from us, really! if siem continue to ignore and violate this map, the conflict won't end, really. so, this map is very crucial to cambodia as it tie to the rule of law, etc, ok! just ask any khmer they will tell you that, really!

Love to see this guy serve his jail term to the fullest and without any outside food. He has to do everything according to jail regulation for 8 years in Prey Sor. We do not want to hear anything from him during his serving time. Though, want to hear what he will say after he serves!

Samdach Hun Sen,

I never like totally the way you have governed Cambodia. However, with regard to war with Thailand regarding Preah Vihear, you have my full support.

Thank you for standing to Thailand on behalf of your country.

Don't forget to eliminate corruption as much as possible and do the right things for the people so that Cambodia can become more prosperous faster.

Just look at his face and you could tell that the a lot of Thais are really bad even though they consider themselves Buddhists.

It is too bad that Thailand is not bordered between Vietnam and Burma as those 2 countries deserve such a neighbour as Thailand.

The fucken OHCHR was quiet when thai army burnt Khmers alive to death along the borders.

Why preah vihear temple has its entrance from Thailand becoz the area formerly was part of Khmer land before the siem thieves who rebelled from Khmer empire.

Thailand by definition is invaded land or stolen.

To Mr Veera Somkwamkid,
As Khmer love peace and reality could I share you some points:
a) Your country right now has the internal conflict betwen red & yellow people, this problem will be serious from day by day and it inpact to economy. In order to attract your supporters, Thai politicians use the Prah Vihear as "crunchpoint" because this is a sharps knife as part of foreign policy. But have forgotten what your country had treaty with France as Khmer protectorate in the past.
Please se this documents from France:

1) http://www.jstor.org/stable/pdfplus/2195943.pdf
2) http://www.khmer.rfi.fr/law/raoul-jenna-on-preah-vihear-case

If you are good people and a good neighboring country, could we talk in peaceful.

2)We are accepting the Hun Sen Govt is hidding on the border with Vietnam (east border) and only use the border treaty with Vietnam after 1979. Vietnam take a lot of Khmer land under Hun Sen Govt. that is why Thailand is envious ? We both Khmer and Thai people are Buddhism and had a bad and good history in the past, Could we both now live in peace each other like Buddha teached US ??

How about thai shooted khmer to death when innocent khmers cross their border. Is it very very big unjust and against human right too???

4:38 AM,

You should be ashamed of yourself for having used such a bad Cambodian word to address others in this forum.

You appear to have hated Hun Sen because he limits the freedom of expression and has done many other things that can be considered bad. However, you can be a worse person than Hun Sen when you are in power as you have not even got any power yet, but the way you talk on this forum, I can say you would shoot anyone to death if you could when he/she calls Mr. Hun Sen by the his title of Samdach.

You forget totally that your shit stinks even more than that of another person of whose shit smell you have been complaining.

Normally, during the dispute, you could get shot for crossing the border. Considering yourself lucky that you're in jail eating free foods.

Like others have said, this issue should only be dealt with bilaterally. ;)

Put the weirdo for hundred years in jail. He will never shut up. Cambodians do big favor for Thais government by not releasing him. He is educated, but love to stir up big problem for Cambodia and Thai. Useless thug! Live for ever in jail until your flesh become just bone.

Veera and ratree,
after out of jails,
they will revenge
Khmer.
They will become Thai
heroes.They are good
for Thai,but they are
bad for Khmer.
Since after Angkor or Khmer empire,
Thai and Khmer,not
along so well.
Thai and Vietnam were/are always with each other because of Khmer.
Why?
Because Khmer kings
or Khmer leaders depend on one of them to win over his opponent and give some pieces of
land for gifts to Thai or Vietnam.
(Sihanouk,Pol Pot for China,paid her back by rice),Sihanouk,Hun Sen paid by pieces
of land and the whole country to Vietnam as a province of Vietnam
like Khmer Krom,Lao,
and Champa.

This is the flip flop that the Thai always use. For this case Thai want the intervention from the United Nations, but when it comes to the border dispute and Preah Vihear temple they stand firm on bilateral talks without ouside intervention, not even from the Office of the United Nations. Why?
