Pol Maj Rolan, chief of the anti-human trafficking centre in Kawthaung, said President Thein Sein had been requested to reduce the sentences and grant amnesty to Thanom Chansamut and Kalaya Tawo. The two were among 92 Thais arrested last July. All the others were released after serving jail terms for illegal entry and arms possession before being granted amnesty by the Myanmar government.
Both of the prisoners are healthy and were being treated well inside the prison, said Pol Maj Rolan, who was in Ranong to escort some Myanmar suspects who had fled to Thailand back to their country. Thanom, 52, a Chumphon native, and Kalaya, 49, from Surat Thani, were also found guilty of drug possession. The Myanmar court reportedly sentenced Kalaya to 28 years in prison and Thanom to 25 years. Thai authorities are monitoring the issue, he added.
