Extra time granted for yellow shirts to surrender on terrorism

By The Nation

Police on Wednesday extended the deadline of summonses for yellow shirts to hand themselves over and face terrorism charge from today to August 26.

The deadline extension was the outcome of a meeting between defence lawyer Nitithorn Lamlua and assistant national police chief Lt General Somyos Phumphanmuang, the lead investigator on the case.

Nitithorn petitioned for the extension on the ground of time constraints as police have summoned 79 yellow shirts as suspects while the defence has only two lawyers to handle the case.

Somyos said police stood ready to take their statements should certain yellow-shirt suspects decide to report themselves before the new deadline.

In regard to the summonses, police will issue a second batch of summonses for reason on legal technicality even though it is a mutual agreement that the suspect would surrender in a month, he said.

You could but it would be dismissed as too far fetched.

They are waiting for the Foreign Minister to step up.

There is no double standard here. Red cases is delayed too, only different is the Yellow is outside, and Red is inside (jail).

Some reds are inside, and some Yellow have been to court on several issues.

Sondhi for certain has seen lots of court time. But like most of the elite he isn't incarcerated yet.

" Nitithorn petitioned for the extension on the ground of time constraints as police have summoned 79 yellow shirts as suspects while the defence has only two lawyers to handle the case "

Is it not up to the individual to get their own lawyer? How can they delay for that? That is laughable

Makes perfect sense to me:partytime. After all they have only had two years to surrender and get a lawyer. Why rush them.:cheesy:

Why not grant extra time until 2020. Maybe the world will end first.

Bangkok will sink - their defense will be - Airport ! What airport?

Considering that the yellow shirts were in support of this government in the first place, I doubt if any of them will be brought to book.

Place your bets here please.

[anotheruser]

Seems reasonable enough. Let them choose the time they will be arrested.

The government has no idea what "Terrorism" means. Because the Red shirts caused fires, bombs and dead people, makes it right to turn the yellow shirts into terrrorists too.
