Court permission granted for reds to visit Cambodia

By The Nation

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.

The Criminal Court approved the travel petition for three of four red-shirt leaders. Weng Tojirakan would have to refile his petition tomorrow due ot incomplete documentation.

The court allowed bailed red shirts to a two-leg trip to Phnom Penh. In the first leg, the reds would travel to prepare for the friendly football match from tomorrow to Monday and return to attend the match on Friday to Sunday.
