I saw an article where the two convicted Burmese lawyer says he'll apply for a Royal Pardon.. If he does and it is denied the execution mandatorily must take place within a specified time frame, I think 30 days..

In the link:

"Human Rights Watch at the time also described the convictions as "profoundly disturbing"."

If the Thai government goes through with these executions, I hope they get all the blowback and more that seems warranted.
