Thailand: Lawyers submit appeal for two Burmese migrants on death row for Koh Tao murders

A TEAM of lawyers representing two Burmese migrant workers on death row for the murder of a British couple in Koh Tao Island, Thailand, have submitted a 198 page appeal against the conviction.

Together with the pro bono lawyers, May Thein and Phyu Shwe Nu – the mothers of the accused, Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo – traveled from Rakhine State in Burma to Thailand on Saturday to submit the appeal to the Koh Samui court today.

The mothers also visited their sons, both 22 years old, who have been held in the high security Bang Kwang Prison in Nonthaburi since January. (Courtesy of asiancorrespondent.com)
