Veera's bail request denied

A Cambodian Court on Tuesday freed on bail four of five remaining Thai detainees who are charged with trespassing into Cambodian soil late last year.

Court denied bail request for Veera Somkwamkit, leader of Thai Patriots Network, who is also accused of spying.

The four were Samdin Lertbutr, Tainae Mungmajon, Kitponthorn Chusnasevee and Ratree Pitpattanapaibul. Ratree is also accused of spying.

The decision left Veera who was charged with trespassing last year remain in jail.

Veera told reporters before the trial that the accusations were groundless as he was on the Thai soil when he was arrested on December 29 last year.

Democrat MP Panich Vikitsreth and Naruemon Jitrawarattana were the first two Thais granted the bail. The conditions were that they remained in Cambodia and were ready to report to authorities when summoned.
