Why have they blurred his trousers?

His flies are open, and they thought Farangs might laugh

Just a Prawn, not a tiger Shrimp.

No unfair comparisons with his nose.

Why have they blurred his trousers?

It's blurred for the same reason this picture should be blurred.

Children may see it!

If the Red Shirts are savy, they will turn this photo in to a propaganda victory and drum up more support for Puea Thai at the ballot box...

Bail request for Red Shirt leaders Jatuporn, Nisit rejected again

BANGKOK, June 21 – Thailand’s Criminal Court on Tuesday rejected another attempt to achieve bail for Jatuporn Prompan and Nisit Sinthuprai, two key leaders of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), known as the Red Shirts.

The court cited a previous court decision which refused to grant them bail and stated that there were no new grounds for reconsidering their request.

These repeated repeals, without any new justification, are a waste of the court's time and time the court's have precious little of to review frivolous appeals.

Mr Winyat said earlier that if the court rejected the bail request, he would petition it to allow Mr Jatuporn and Mr Nisit to leave prison to vote on July 3.

What's the protocol for all the other detainees in regards to voting?

Something tells me the prison officials don't allow all eligible-to-vote detainees out of prison just for that purpose.

Remember now, Reds, no double standards, right?

[Buchholz]

Why have they blurred his trousers?

Perhaps to conceal the leg-irons which he seems to derive almost ecstatic joy from as evidenced today.

Whatever kinky floats his boat. To each his own.

He looks as happy as a pig in a poke.... no double entendre intended.

The most egregious and volatile of comments by this particular Red Shirt Leader are not missed.

Anyone have a transcript of what he actually said during the rally, i'm curious to see it

I would like to find a reference to the speech text, too.

Although I did not find the text, what I could find is that essentially, he upset the army chief by saying in his speech of April 10 2011 that the army responsible for the deaths of civilians on April 10 2010. 2 days later, it was the Army chief who filed LM charges against him.

You will be hard pressed to find a transcript on any webboard etc based in Thailand, because continuing to post it would make others guilty of LM as well. MunterHunter is pretty far off the mark, in that it was reference to specific units etc that lead to the LM charges. These charges are fairly well grounded against him and Nisit. The others that were charged did not say anything to the topic and just cheered/applauded from the stage making the attempt to nail them with the LM charge a much harder case.

Court dismisses bail appeals for Jatuporn, Nisit

BANGKOK, 27 June 2011 (NNT) – The Appeals Court has turned down the appeals for temporary release of red-shirt core leaders Jatuporn Prompan and Nisit Sinthuprai currently detained for terrorism.

Mr Jatuporn’s lawyer Winyat Chartmontri disclosed that the Appeals Court had rejected the bail appeals for his client as well as Mr Nisit.

The judges reportedly decided to adhere to the previous ruling issued by the Court of First Instance on 22 June to keep the two in custody as their wrongdoing was deemed severe and their release could threaten national security and orderliness.

Despite the bail rejection, Mr Winyat declared that he would further ask the Court to allow the detainees to come out to cast their votes during the general election on 3 July, noting that they were entitled by the Constitution to take part in the poll.

I just love those leg irons. But where is the straight jacket? And a hood would be nice. It seems they are feeding him far too much, a bit of hard labour might help sort that out.

I'd like to think they aren't, but it appears they are savvy, judging by many Thai peoples' reactions to them. Consider:

>>>>> The Reds blindly follow a corrupt-to-the-core man. Thai voters like it.

>>>>> The Reds storm hotels, commandeer downtown Bkk, burn buildings. Thai voters like it.

>>>>> The Reds attack a hospital and toss a bomb which kills a woman at a subway station. The Thai voters like it.

It's like, the worse the things the Reds do and say, the more the Thai voters like them and their allied PT party.

I would say they're rather savvy, in a warped Thaitanic sort of way.

In a way its been a blessing for Yingluck and PTP during the campaign.

Hopefully one day we will also see Abhisit wearing chains.

Unfortunately for your hopes, Thaksin's latest 'Al-Jazeera' interview makes clear, "Amnesty means for all the parties concerned".

This may also upset the relatives of the dead, who might have otherwise hoped that Thaksin/PTP/Red-Shirts/Ms-Yingluck might have been on their side, and wanted justice for their dead.

But PM-Abhisit seems to be the only one to agree with them, when they demand "No Amnesty', funny old world isn't it ?

POO Point of Order that is ....

The PAD leaders have also come out against an amnesty even though there is some chance that they could be convicted of serious charges. (Unlike Abhisit who appears to not be at risk at all.)

PAD agreeing with PM-Abhisit ? Whatever next ! People will start accusing them of acting-in-cahoots again !

But if PTP do manage to form a coalition-government, the decision will be made by just one man, whatever the rights or wrongs of it, that's 'true-democracy' for you !

If court doesn't allow Jatuporn to go out and vote, he will lack qualification to be an MP: EC /via@tulsathit /via@veenarat

Oh ... what a pity.

Hmmmm that would prevent parliamentary immunity --------- maybe someone has worked out a deal! (I'll believe it when Arisaman and Nuthawut are in jail too ....

Oh ... what a pity.

Indeed, quite a number of the Pheu Thai Party-list MP candidates were deemed ineligible to run by the EC after their initial placement on the Party-list due to not having voted in the previous election. It shows just how closely they were vetted by the Party prior to being put on the list, but, then again, they have terrorist suspects on their Party-list and compared to terrorizing a metropolis, not voting in all elections was way down the list of criteria the Party used.

Still, I think Jatuporn will manage to vote in this election and being in the Top 10 of the Party-list will certainly be plaguing Parliament once again. The prison must have a procedure for allowing those that are in pre-trial confinement and haven't been convicted of a crime yet (once convicted, that is moot as they lose their right) to vote. There must be dozens of other detainees in the same situation.

I stand corrected on the above.

He's not being allowed to vote by Thai law.

House to consider lifting immunity of 9 red-shirt MPs

The House of Representatives will Wednesday debate whether to lift legal immunity of nine Pheu Thai MPs, who are red-shirt leaders and wanted under a national security charge.

The House will consider a request by Tharit Pengdit, the Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation, to lift the legal immunity.

Tharit alleged that the nine red-shirt leaders gave a speech during a rally on April 10, which was held to mark the first anniversary of the Kokwua Intersection crackdown, in a way that was seen violating the Criminal Code and national security.

The nine MPs are Weng Tojirakarn, Natthawut Saikua, Jatuporn Promphan, Wiphuthalaeng Pattanaphumthai, Korkaew Pikulthong, Phayup Panket, Wichien Khaokham, Karun Hosakul, and Prasit Chaisisa.

In his request, Tharit said the DSI could not pursue legal action against the nine MPs during the parliamentary session as they enjoy legal immunity.

Tharit said since the nine MPs themselves declared that they did not want to use the legal immunity, he would like the House to consider lifting it.
