  UNESCO Appeals For Release Of Political Prisoner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
UNESCO publicly appealed Wednesday to the government of Laos for the release of former Deputy Minister for Economics and Planning Latsami Khamphoui on humanitarian grounds, citing his poor health and harsh conditions of imprisonment.
Khamphoui has been imprisoned since 1990 for criticizing the government in a series of letters to government officials.
The committee is calling for "his immediate release on humanitarian grounds and in view of the fact that he had already served two-thirds of his sentence," and expressed "deep concern at the alarming state of health of the alleged victim" (UNESCO release, May 29).

Mr Khamphoui, 62, is in poor health and is suffering from angina.
He is serving a 14-year sentence in a remote camp in conditions that are said to be extremely harsh.
But in 2001, having failed to obtain the co-operation of the Government of Laos, the Committee decided to break with its usual procedure and discuss Mr Khamphoui's case in public.

 Laos: Medical letter writing action: Latsami Khamphoui and Feng Sakchittaphong - Amnesty International   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Amnesty International has again received reports that Latsami Khamphoui and Feng Sakchittaphong who are being held in extremely harsh conditions at Prison Camp 7 in a remote area of Houa Phanh Province in Laos are suffering serious health problems and are not being provided with adequate medical care.
Thongsouk Saysangkhi, who was arrested together with Latsami Khamphoui and Feng Sakchittaphong in 1990 and subsequently held in the same prison camp, died in in mid-February 1998 after reportedly having been in ill-health for several months without being given access to the medical care he needed.

 Asia Times: Changing of the Laos guard signals economic debate
Khampoui is seen by foreign observers as one of the few within the Lao communist government with key economic credentials, and may have fallen out with more conservative Politburo members.
But the Lao Ambassador to Thailand, Hiem Phomachanh, told Thai media that Khamphoui, 68, had repeatedly requested to resign because of his age and health.
Oldfield said Khampoui had been forced to resign in 1996 when he was viewed as becoming ''too influential, and too close to Thai business interests.'' He returned to office in 1998.
