Cambodia allows Thai medic to visit Veera

Cambodia allowed Thai medic to visit detained Thai activist Veera Somkhamkid in Pray Sar prison outskirt of Phnom Penh to provide him medical treatment for his chronic illness, Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul said Monday.

 

Veera was detained together with Ratree Pipattanapaiboon since December last year for espionage charge as they inspected disputed border areas near Sakaew province Ban Nongchan.
He was sentenced eight years imprisonment while Ratree was jailed six years for the same charge.
