Lite Beer Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thailand makes rare arrest of protest leaderBANGKOK, April 26, 2014 (AFP) - Thai authorities have made a rare arrest of one of the leaders of the country's anti-government protest movement on charges including insurrection and inciting unrest, an official said Saturday. Former opposition lawmaker Sakoltee Phattiyakul is one of only a handful of prominent protesters to have been detained despite dozens of arrest warrants. He was arrested at around midnight at Bangkok's main airport while returning from a trip overseas. "He faces five serious accusations including insurrection, trespassing, inciting unrest and obstruction of an election," said Tarit Pengdith, director-general of the Ministry of Justice's Department of Special Investigation (DSI). Sakoltee, considered a "core protest leader", was undergoing interrogation and would be taken to the Criminal Court where the authorities would oppose his bail, Tarit said. Leaders of the anti-government movement have flouted arrest warrants to deliver fiery speeches, lead marches, block roads and besiege government buildings in their bid to topple Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. Sakoltee led protesters to storm the building of broadcaster Thai PBS late last year. The movement wants to replace Yingluck's government with an unelected "people's council" that would oversee reforms to tackle alleged corruption and rein in the political dominance of her billionaire family. Top protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban faces several arrest warrants linked to the rallies including for treason, as well as murder charges linked to a deadly crackdown on opposition demonstrations in 2010 when he was deputy prime minister. Yingluck meanwhile is accused of dereliction of duty linked to a loss-making rice subsidy scheme and the improper transfer of a senior civil servant. Both cases could lead to her removal from office within weeks. -- (c) Copyright AFP 2014-04-26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I'd bet a buck or two that he will be out on bail within 48 hours. Bet he is in a VIP suite at the jail too with people pandering to his every whim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h90 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 If this had been a PTP related arrest we would be given details as to; - Class of service the accused was traveling in - Baggage contents - Names of traveling companions - Outfit he was wearing - Whether or not he protested his detention Oh well. I bet he'll look snappy in his prison clothes and shackles. Baggage content won't be xx bags full of cash in his case so it is less interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is guilty of these charges then the other millions over the last 5 months that took part should be arrested, along with the reds and their leaders. Millions? Must have been billions.........
