A father-and-son duo faced a retrial Thursday at the Appeal Court for charges of premeditated murder of their neighbor after their prosecutor in a lower court sought harsher punishments against the pair.
A Thai lawyer assisting detained Cambodian monk Bor Bet said Thai officials had indicated that they would not immediately deport him and that he was still in immigration detention.
In his most clear comments about succession, Prime Minister Hun Sen said his oldest son and army commander Hun Manet would take over from him, while shooting down any chances of rumored prime ministerial hopeful and Interior Minister Sar Kheng’s ascension.
Bor Bet urged Thai authorities to respect his refugee status. He asked his supporters to remain resilient and that he had not lost hope.
