Thaksin And 24 Reds To Face Indictment For Terrorism

[jayjay0]

They, Thaksin & the Red Mob leaders, funded, bribed and feverishly encouraged others to march upon & commit arson in a densely populated area using explosive devices, sharp implements and firearms.

That makes them complicit in mass-murder. That makes them mass-murderers.

I don't think Thaksin buying a few hundred sacks of rice for protesters constitutes a crime of terrorism.

No such acts of arson were carried out under the orders Red shirt leaders. At the time the Central World incident happened, the Red leaders had surrendered to police and instructed their followers to disperse. The arson attacks were carried out by leaderless individuals no doubt in anger that they'd just seen their comrades slaughtered.

That the mass murder took place before the arson attacks (aside the unarmed 6 individuals shot by snipers in the temple), it's hard to put any sense to what you claim. Let's not forget it was the government and military who authorized the mass murder and carried it out, not Thaksin or any Red leaders.

I'd also challenge you to provide any actual evidence to your claim in the first line. Simply saying something does not make it plausible,.

You make some unsubstantiated comments. Were you there when the leaders made there plans were you a part of the meeting? This has been going on for months now. All of a sudden you join the TV and become a prolific poster. Two and a half months late for the party . You posted

"I don't think Thaksin buying a few hundred sacks of rice for protesters constitutes a crime of terrorism."

You hit the nail right on the head with the first three words. The rest was normal red shirt dribble.

Are you in reality a banned poster or another red shirt air head who has been shot down every time he opened his mouth?And had o change names. Wake up it was not the name people reacted to it was the nonsense you posted.

Treat me fairly: Thaksin

By The Nation

Published on August 4, 2010

A lawyer for fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra put in a petition yesterday asking the Attorney-General to ensure fair treatment for him in connection with the case about his alleged support of terrorist acts and unrest.

Thanadej Puangpoon gave Thaksin's petition to Panupong Chotisin, Deputy Director-General of the Office of the Attorney-General's special litigation department.

The lawyer said the charge by the Department of Special Investigation against Thaksin was unfair, as it appeared they had intended to take legal action against him in connection with the political unrest.

Thanadej said Thaksin was not a leader of the red-shirt protests - he simply made phone calls to offer moral support to the protesters and their leaders, with no intention of inciting unrest.

Review of terror indictments against reds

By THE NATION

Published on August 5, 2010

Public prosecutors are racing against time to complete their review on terrorism indictments for 25 red-shirt suspects before the 84-day deadline under the emergency rules expires in less than two weeks.

Should the prosecution review fail to meet the deadline, the authorities are obligated to free the suspects under remand. One of the 25 suspects, red-shirt guard Chayut Laicharoen, will be the first to complete his remand detention on August 17.

Deputy Attorney-General Waiyawut Lohtrakul yesterday conceded he was uncertain if the prosecution review could be completed on time.

"The defence has filed a number of petitions questioning the investigative reports on the suspects and public prosecutors are obligated to examine all defence arguments in order to ensure fairness," he said.

Waiyawut said none of the prosecutors wanted to see the suspects freed from remand because some might flee.

Ruj Kuensuwan, a member of the prosecution team, said the case involving Chayut might be put on a fast-track review in order to meet the deadline, otherwise the suspect would walk free and could not be summoned back for indictment.

Lawyer requires inquiry of six defense witnesses for Thaksin

BANGKOK, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- A petition was submitted to Thailand's Office of Attorney-General (OAG) Tuesday requiring it to inquire six more witnesses prior to making a decision if to file a suit against ousted former Thai Premier Thaksin Shinawatra on terrorism charges.

The petition was submitted by Thanadet Puangpoon, the lawyer of Thaksin at 10 a.m., local time.

Most of those six more defense witnesses mentioned by the lawyer are Thailand's leading opposition Puea Thai Party MPs.

According to the petition, Thanadet said, it is not fair the Justice Ministry's Department of Special Investigation (DSI) had asked the OAG to indict Thaksin along with 25 other suspects on terrorism charges without questioning Thaksin's witnesses.

Panupong Chotisin, deputy director-general of the Special Cases Litigation Department received the petition for further consideration.

If the petition was turned down, the witnesses would be arranged to testify in court, Thanadet said.

Thaksin was ousted by a military coup in September, 2006, in accusation of massive corruption, and kept in exile since then. Thaksin returned to Thailand in February, 2008 to face corruption charges, but he later fled into exile again and was convicted in absentia.

Indictments come from a preponderance of evidence indicating a crime likely has been committed and by whom.

It is not necessary to ask all and sundry for their opinions, but that enough evidence is presented to warrant charges.

He is indicted and then his lawyer can call whom he wishes to testify later in court...

if the charged individual actual deigns to show up like a real man among men..

Good news at last. So much about being a mule to some corrupt figure.

CHAYOO!!

Why are you so rude ??

Did you not learn any manners from your parents ?

Like I said before, You cannot be playing with a full deck. What is so rude about this.

Phil, you say there will be things happening. What will happen? Are these threats? If so please tell us more. If not, let the reds make the threats so they can be charged. Don't beat around the bush with your inuendos about what the reds will do with your BS bluffs. Last thing we need is some radical winding the people up and trying to throw unaccountable fear into the people. Take away the paid protestors and you only have less than .001% of the terrosists trying to run the country. Is this your democracy?

What is in it for you? Are you on the Taksin payroll?

Just noticed your response and you make some comments that need reply.

1: Your reference to " full deck" is insulting -- An apology would be appreciated.

2: I was not making any threat and it is asinine to imply that I was.

3: Please retract your comment about my BS ( assume you mean "bullshit") bluffs.

Your comment has no meaning, to what "bluff" do you refer ?

4: Just curious,but who are you referring to when you state "....less than .001% of the terrosists

trying to run the country. "

The meaning is not clear to me.

5:"What's in it for me ? "

As a resident here I have my opinions, same as you.

6: And finally, NO , I am NOT on Taksin's payroll and your suggestion that I am is both insulting and

derogatory.

You should apologise or substantiate and let's meet in Court.

Khon Kaen Unrest Cases See Slow Progress

TAN Network

UPDATE : 10 August 2010

Khon Kaen police have issued several arrest warrants against red-shirt suspects believed to be involved in the unrest in April and May, but so far no suspects have been arrested.

Officials from the Khon Kaen Provincial Police Bureau, the Department of Special Investigation, the provincial Public Prosecutors Office and involved parties held a meeting to follow up on progress in the investigation into six cases of red-shirt disturbances in the province.

Five of those involved red-shirt road blockade that are now under the supervision of Pol, Ban Phai and Si Chompu police stations.

In April, local red-shirt supporters closed inbound traffic lanes on Friendship Highway to search for military officials in all vehicles headed in the direction of Bangkok after hearing a rumor that the military would crack down on the mass rally in the capital.

As a result, a number of soldiers were detained by the protesters.

The Khon Kaen court has approved arrest warrants for ten suspects believed to be involved in the cases, but no suspect has been apprehended so far.

Another case is the Khon Kaen railway train station seizure by local red-shirt activists.

They had seized a train carrying Humvees, GMC trucks, and tanker trucks as well as soldiers out of suspicion that the equipment and troops were heading to Bangkok as reinforcement for a potential crackdown on the anti-government red-shirt protests.

The conclusion about the train seizure case has yet to be made and no suspects have been identified.

The provincial authorities have secured eight arrest warrants for suspects involved in the torching of the provincial hall and a local NBT television station, but until now, no suspects have been arrested.

'Mrs kor' red cash courier

By The Nation

Published on August 16, 2010

A woman identified as Mrs Kor has been implicated by a key suspect of being a money courier for the red-shirted protests in May, authorities said yesterday.

"If he further incriminates the woman and the DSI can obtain more evidence against her, an arrest warrant will be sought for this [new] suspect," Tharit Phengdit, directorgeneral of the Department of Special Investigation, said yesterday.

Jakchalat Khongsuwan, a chauffeur and personal bodyguard for Army specialist Khattiya Sawasdipol, who was killed by a sniper in the protests, is still in military custody after his arrest last week, so has not been interrogated by the DSI, Tharit said.

The woman is believed to have delivered funds to Khattiya at various places on many occasions.

Tharit said he needed to obtain more proof and question Jakchalat before deciding that she was connected to any of all the 83 people whose assets had been frozen on suspicion of funding the violent demonstrations.

The 25 suspects in the torching of Central World and other buildings at the end of the protests in late May will be processed for indictment by public prosecutors next week.

In Chiang Mai, police yesterday detained a man suspected of joining an attack on the home of a People Alliance for Democracy activist two years ago and killing his father.

Daeng Puanmool, a member of the pro-Thaksin Shinawatra Rak Chiang Mai 51 Group, was arrested shortly after midnight at his wife's house in Hang Dong district.

Five men taking part in the gang attack are serving 20year prison terms and police are going after two other men seen in media footage.

On November 26, 2009, some 200 Rak Chiang Mai 51 Group members barricaded the home of Therdsak Jiamkijwatthana in the Raming Niwet housing estate in Muang district, and later attacked a pickup truck commandeered by his father Settha and killed him. Eight men have been charged with murder including the five convicts and Daeng.

Thepthai Senapong, the prime minister's spokesman, said the opposition Pheu Thai Party had been over-worried about statements by Jakchalat and most suspects implicating people in the red movement.

"This is probably because the PT members are afraid that they could be also implicated, so they usually come up with preemptive attacks that the police and the government are making arrests of scapegoats," he said.

Jatuporn Promphan, a red shirt leader and PT party-list MP, accused public prosecutors of rushing indictments against him and all red suspects in custody - by announcing the completion of all cases last Wednesday despite the last minute legal deadline on September 7.

All the suspects, including Jatuporn, are scheduled to be escorted to the Criminal Court today for arraignment or other orders.

'Mrs Kor' red cash courier

By The Nation

Published on August 16, 2010

A woman identified as Mrs Kor has been implicated by a key suspect of being a money courier for the red-shirted protests in May, authorities said yesterday.

"If he further incriminates the woman and the DSI can obtain more evidence against her, an arrest warrant will be sought for this [new] suspect," Tharit Phengdit, directorgeneral of the Department of Special Investigation, said yesterday.

Jakchalat Khongsuwan, a chauffeur and personal bodyguard for Army specialist Khattiya Sawasdipol, who was killed by a sniper in the protests, is still in military custody after his arrest last week, so has not been interrogated by the DSI, Tharit said.

Now that there has been some investigating of him, some interesting developments:

Department of Special Investigation (DSI) Director-General Tharit Pengdit yesterday confirmed that there was a possibility that a suspect arrested for red riot could probably be the same man wanted for a massacre at a mosque in Narathiwat.

"From information we have received, he is very likely the same person," Tharit said, "We are investigating into this suspect's history".

Tharit was speaking about Jakchalat Kongsuwan, who has now been detained at a military camp for violating the State of Emergency Decree.

Jakchalat was also described as a close aide of Major-General Khattiya Sawasdiphol, who helped with the red shirts' security measures before his death in May.

Latest information suggested that Jakchalat might have been previously known as Suttirak Kongswan, who reported himself to the Crime Suppression Bureau in January to face charges relating to the fatal attack on Al Furqon Mosque last year.

The attack killed 10 people who were performing religious ritual at the mosque.

Suttirak, a former ranger, had been released on bail.

"Then two months ago, his bondman withdrew the surety," Tharit said.

Since his arrest, Jakchalat has reportedly given crucial information to authorities including how a woman with K initial picked up money from Thaksin Shinawatra and passed it to Khattiya for operations to stir up violence.

It is now widely speculated that the woman was Kanokwan Witjitrawiwat, a leader of red-shirt United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) in Prachin Buri.

When asked about this, Tharit said, "I cannot confirm this piece of information. DSI has not yet received information on this part".

Tharit said officials were now instructed to watch over Kanokwan's house.

An informed source said relevant officials also searched three houses identified by Jakchalat as the places where cash for violent operation were paid.

According to the source, the first house was located in Phutthamonthol area and was now abandoned.

"The owner of the second house has already gone on the run. We have found three big safety boxes in the place, though. We are in the process of opening them for examination," the source added.

On arson attacks at the Central World shopping complex, the Criminal Court yesterday approved arrest warrants for two more suspects captured on the video recordings.

"We have not yet known their names," Pol Lt Col Phayao Thongsen said as the chief investigator in terrorism cases.

To date, arrest warrants have been issued for nine suspects in the Central World case.

"We have already prosecuted suspected arsonists on two other cases, one at the Bangkok Bank's Phra Khanong branch in Bangkok and the other in Chiang Mai," Phayao said.

Meanwhile, Pheu Thai MPs Jatuporn Promhan and Karun Hosakul reported themselves to the Criminal Court as required by their bail conditions. They are charged with terrorism for their role in the red-shirt rally.

During their visit, they also successfully obtained the court's permission to postpone their trial from September 27 to a later date after the parliamentary session ended on September 27.

Jatuporn added that starting next month, Pheu Thai MPs and key red shirts would deliver speeches across the country to inform the public of the Pheu Thai Party's policies and the current government's poor performance.

No SOE in Chiang Mai and a 500 turnout in Thaksin's home base. Seems they're getting further and further away from their purported turnouts of 1,000,000.

The "Red in the Land" is certainly getting to be a paler shade:

Anti-government protesters from the Red Sunday group perform a skit during a rally in Chiang Mai province, north of Bangkok August 22, 2010. The gathering of about 200 people took place less than a week after the government lifted the state of emergency in the northern province of Chiang Mai.

Not to mention the year-long bombing campaign, the hospital invasion, the kidnapping, the death threats, the assassination attempts, the blocking of roads, the setting up an armed camp in the city center, the illegal search and seizure on private citizens in their cars or on foot, the terrorist grenade launch on the BTS, etc.

The reds will continue to be a poltical force. You dant launch two poltical uprisings complete with violence and intimidation unless you are serious. Right now they are a bit leaderless and vulnerable. Even in Chaing Mai local vendors wouldnt let them demonstrate where they wanted so they had to go elsewhere, but they will build. The next target is probably an election if it comes before April. Failing that there is always the quiet farming period of April to May where another uprising can be tried although the organization will need to be better than now and even better than the last one when many of the groups in the pick up convoy all over the N and NE never made it to BKK but instead turned back after only a few km.

Interesting to see how it develops.

Additional opportunities exist for the Red shenanigans are with the local Bangkok district elections to be held on August 29, where the PTP, like during their loss for the Bangkok MP by-election, will once again be competing against the Democrats.

Yes, it'll be interesting to see how do in their first foray into an election and what impact they will play with the PTP and Democrats.

Likewise, will the Reds Party for Sae Daeng be competing? I've not seen if they will contest in these elections.

I don't see the PTP putting up Veera or Natthawut as candidates, so perhaps they learned from the earlier by-election not to run a terrorist suspect.

Hmmmmm

The government sanctioned the use of deadly force and acknowledged it. They are still standing. Look at Thai history and the use of force against mobs. This seems to be the very first government that has survived it.

Why "give your enemy the very thing he seeks" ?The government tried for ages to deal with the situation without resorting to that level of force. At some point you have to look at the rest of the population's needs, the country's needs, etc .. and then make a stand.
