Suthep: Harsh ruling against Veera

2/02/2011
Bangkok Post

The Cambodian court's sentence imposed on yellow-shirt activist Veera Somkwamkid and his secretary Ratree Pipatanapaiboon was harsh but all sides must accept it, Deputy Prime Minister overseeing security Suthep Thaugsuban said on Wednesday morning.

Mr Suthep said he did not want to criticise the Phnom Penh Municipal Court's ruling yesterday.

"The case is not yet over and they [Mr Veera and Ms Ratree] can still file an appeal.

"All sides have to respect the verdict and refrain from inciting conflict between the two countries," he said.

The pair and their families will decide whether they would seek a royal pardon when the case is final, he said.


The deputy premier said he believed Thai-Cambodian relations can still be amended despite Cambodia's refusal to remove its national flag hoisted in the disputed border area near Preah Vihear temple.

He denied claims the government plans to disperse the protest rally by the yellow-shirt People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) outside Government House. The government will prevent the protesters from inconveniencing other people.

The government will not allow protesters to set fires at state offices of Thailand or Cambodia, Mr Suthep said.

The Cambodian court on Monday evening sentenced Thai Patriots Network (TPN) coordinator Veera Somkhwamkid to eight years in prison and Ms Ratree to six years on espionage and illegal entry charges.

The court fined Mr Veera 1.8 million riel (about 14,000 baht) and Ms Ratree 1.2 million riel (about 10,000 baht).

They have the right to appeal within 30 days.

Dear Dr. Hun Sen and Ten Thousands stars Dr. Hun Manet,

Why do you and your relatives give Kos Trol, sea and lands to Vietnam? Why? and Why?

Why do you and all of your relatives involve a lot of murder cases in Cambodia? Why? Why?

Why do you murder Cambodian K5, 1997 events and so on and so on with lost count? Why?

If you are so good why do you and your families murder Cambodians? Why? And Why?

If you are so good, why do above 90% Cambodians are so poor but you and your relatives are billionaires and millionaires? Why? Why?

Why do you try to kill people from telling the true? Why? Why?

What is the difference from Khmer Rough and you, Sir?

If you are so good why do you block KI from Cambodians?

If you are so good, why do you steal all Cambodian life such as well being, health, cut down Cambodians life expectancy as well? But you and your small group are eat well, sleep well, exercise well, have oversea doctors and best medical treatment from high class private doctors from oversea. Most Cambodians that have no money, your healthcare system left Cambodians patients to die in front of your hospital. Why? Why?

If you are so good why more than 6 millions Vietnamese are living permanently in Cambodia, right now? Why, Dr. Hen Sen? And Why

Everywhere, I walk in Cambodia I see Vietnamese speak Vietnamese every where, why? Why?

Don't you and your families scare of hell for eternity?

When you die can you bring all of your power and money with you?

Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Big ass lady and his beloved Dr. Hun Manet Please don't put us in jail or kill us for this! We want to live like you and your families do!

Khmers victim of 1997 and K5

PS

If Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet remove the tablet it is show they are extremely coward and his star are just joy stars given by his daddy not by patriotism. Dr. Hun Manet is very coward as his daddy they only aim to kill innocent Cambodians that all. Dr. Hun SEn and Dr. ten stars Hun Manet are very great at bullying Cambodians and killing Cambodians but cowardly toward Thai and Viet.

CPP are not just corrupted, CPP are extremely corrupt. They are even sell the country such as Kos Trol, Seas, lands, Cambodian people, Cambodian health and well being, all resources in the Cambodia…with lost count. You name it!

Seriously where is the win win policy of Dr. Hun Sen represent? The country is getting smaller and smaller and shame by Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet and his families, his relatives and friends.
