Update:
On September 26, 2006 Thailand court of appeal accepted an appeal from Ly Tong, and on April 3, 2007, the court overturned the lower court's decision to extradite and declared Ly Tong a free man. The ruling turned against the Criminal Court's ruling, which said Ly Tong's acts were purely a security related crime and allowed the extradition.

He was sentenced by Thai Court and was due to be released on May 17 of 2006.
However, about 4 weeks ago, Thai's Attorney Generals signed a contract with Communist
Vietnam to extradite Mr. Tong Ly, a worldwide freedom fighter, to Vietnam.
He is now on a hunger strike and has vowed to take his own life upon the due date,
if Thai government do not free him according to their verdict under the Thai Court.
Ly was convicted by a Rayong Court in Thailand's south on October,
2003 and sentenced to seven years on charges relating to hijacking a training
airplane from Bo Phai in Prachuap Khiri Khan. Ly Tong flew the plane over
Saigon and dropped anti-Hanoi leaflets during a historic visit to the city in November,
2000 by then US president Bill Clinton. He was arrested upon landing in Rayong's Ban Chang district.

LyTong : Your courage is an example and inspiration to the price of freedom
|
|
December 12, 1984
Dear Mr: Tong:
Your letter has just reach my desk. I want to thank you for your kind words of friendship.
The articles you enclosed make it clear that your daring escape from captivity in Vietnam and Cambodia is truly the stuff of legend. For you to live in freedom with dignity was well worth the excruciating cost in bodily suffering and mental anguish that you underwent for more than five years. I was particularly edified by your determination to turn adversity into an occasion for strength and hope. With Daniel(1), you walked through the lions' den, sustained by your faith in God, and emerged victorious. Your courage is an example and inspiration to all who would know the price of freedom.
God bless you,
Sincerely,
Ronald Reagan
