PHNOM PENH - Prime Minister Hun Sen has written the Minister of Justice to seek reduced sentences for two Thai nationals who were jailed on espionage charges in 2010.
The minister will decide soon on whether to release Veera Somkwamkid and Ratri Pipattanaopaiboon, who were arrested in Banthey Meanchey province in the midst of a tense military border standoff, according to a statement from the ministry.
The reduced sentence could come after the cremation ceremony for former king Norodom Sihanouk, following requests by Thai premier Yingluck Shinawatra, officials said.
Bun Yay Narin, deputy director of cabinet for the Justice Ministry, said the minister has received a request from Hun Sen, but declined to provide more details, referring questions to cabinet director Sam Prachea Meanith, who could not be reached for comment.
Shinawatra requested the pardons during the Asean summit in Phnom Penh in November and reiterated the request this week, the ministry statement said.
Veera Somkwamkid is facing eight years in prison and Ratri Pipattanaopaiboon six, on charges of espionage and illegal entry into Cambodia. Five others arrested alongside them have already been released on suspended sentences.

if hun sen wrote the court for reduced sentence for these 2 thai criminals, it is absolutely sure that they both will be released very soon. That is how hun sen not to intervene with court cases. what a hypocrite!
I AM REALLY BORING WITH THE HYPOCRITE PERFORMANCE OF HUN XEN, RIGHT NOW. HE CONTROLS VERY THINGS IN CAMBODIA.
Two Thai prisoners: one will be released soon and another one will have to wait another 6 months. If fugitive Sam Rainsy comes to stay in prison for a while, he will be released like those Thai prisoners. Thus, why does Sam Rainsy afraid going to jail?
Hun sen is The one who belong In prey sar.
He has monkey face with youn brain.. Kill his own people.

No one is afraid of jail if the justice system is fair. You know very well.....you would run with your pan wet before you even convicted by HUN SEN's court.....
No one is afraid of jail but not Sam Rainsy because Sam Rainsy is a frightening Rabbit. When he heard about jail, it makes him sleeping in a nightmare.
