Deposed prime minister will not face charges of lese majeste : prosecutor

BANGKOK: -- Public prosecutors decided on Tuesday not to press charges of lese majeste against deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

Sermkiet Woradit, director general of criminal litigation department, office of the Attorney General, said that after considering police's reports, his office decided not to pursue three charges against Thaksin.

Firstly the case when Thaksin spoke to taxi driver in 2005, secondly the case when Thaksin addressed in his weekly radio programme in 2006 and the case a crowd used flags with "Long live the King" sign to greet him in 2006.

The decision will then forward to Police chief Pol Gen Seripisut Temiyavej. If he did not agree with the decision, he could ask the Attorney General to make a final decision.
