Court permission sought for bailed reds to visit Cambodia

The defence team on Wednesday petitioned for a court permission for four bailed red-shirt leaders to visit Cambodia from tomorrow to Sunday.

As reason to travel abroad, the petition cited the government's instruction for the four as the advance party to prepare for a friedly football match between Thailand and Cambodia, scheduled to take place next Saturday in Phnom Penh.

The defence will post Bt600,000 in cash as surety.

The four are former red-shirt chairman Veera Musigapong, two Pheu Thai MPs, Natthawut Saikua and Weng Tojirakan, and secretary to the deputy interior minister Yoswaris "Jeng Dokjik" Chuklom. They have been released on bail pending trial on terrorism charges in connection with the last year's riots.
