Popular Post Lite Beer Posted January 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2014 Suthep will be arrested soon, should surrender to avoid violence: ChalermThe Sunday Nation: BANGKOK: -- The head of the government's Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order (CMPO) yesterday warned the anti-government leader that his arrest was imminent "in the near future" and asked him to surrender.Caretaker Labour Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung, the CMPO director, said that Suthep Thaugsuban, secretary-general of the protesting People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), would be arrested on charge of leading an insurrection, and not for leading the anti-government protests.Chalerm warned that any attempt by Suthep's bodyguards to resist the police could prove dangerous. He said Suthep's guards were armed. "The gunmen should return home. If any loss happens, do not blame the police," he said.He added, however, that the police had no intention of harming the protesters or planning to kill Suthep. "He must be arrested because he is wanted under a court-approved arrest warrant."Chalerm, an outspoken veteran politician with a background in the police force, said he was unsure whether the arresting police officers would take recourse to an extrajudicial killing in case of armed resistance."I don't know if there will be extrajudicial killings. I will not be among the arresting officers. But whatever will happen or if there may be loss, people should understand that the police will use their good judgement," Chalerm said.The CMPO yesterday resolved at its meeting to seek arrest warrants for 16 protest leaders of the PDRC starting tomorrow. In all, the number of protest leaders wanted by the authorities is now 58, according to Department of Special Investigation director-general Tarit Pengdith, who was present at yesterday's meeting of the CMPO.He said the names of the additional 16 PDRC leaders would be announced today. He added that under the state of emergency imposed recently, the authorities are empowered to detain those arrested for 30 days before further legal action.According to a DSI source, Suthep and other key PDRC leaders will be among the 16 people to face arrest warrants. They also include Sathit Wongnongtaey, Chumpol Jumsai, Issara Somchai, Thaworn Senneam and Witthaya Kaewparadai.Tarit yesterday also warned people not to take part in the protests, saying they could be regarded as violating the law or could end up clashing with police.He said ordinary protesters would be also deemed to have violated the law under the state of emergency. He said that by attempting to interrupt an election, they could face a jail term of up to 10 years.He said that from tomorrow, CMPO officials would start negotiating with the PDRC leaders for the return of areas in many state agency offices that have been occupied by the protesters.The CMPO yesterday warned through a live TV broadcast that owners of any hotel, rented house or other places that provide lodgings for people wanted by the CMPO would face severe legal action. -- The Nation 2014-01-26 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post britmaveric Posted January 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2014 Pretty reasonable - Suthep and his cohorts have said enough to hang themselves. Time to go to the monkey house. However being filthy rich and corrupt - they won't see prison anytime soon after all this is thailand. 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the protesters should know by now that exercising your democratic right to protest is a crime in PT's eyes (if they are the ones you object to that is).

Perhaps than can seize all the assets he stole off the tax payer in the palm oil scandal whilst their at it. I don't think chalerm wants any past cases of corruption investigated. He's got his own skeletons to keep hidden. Is his son going to take part in the arrest of suthep I wonder. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post daboyz1 Posted January 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2014 Is this the joke of the day? I have to laugh because the real criminal is hiding out in Dubai. His punishment thus far has been having his passport hand delivered, as well as senior police officials showing up at his birthday parties. How can anyone take this guy seriously? 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see any other reason why they keep him around. Every time he opens his mouth he inserts foot. Maybe they keep him around for the humor. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robby nz Posted January 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2014 In other words if we cant get to him to arrest him we will kill him. And likely anyone around him. But of course Chalerm wont be there he hasn't got the guts to stand up to anything but a microphone. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NongKhaiKid Posted January 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2014 Tarit is saying that ordinary protesters who are not involved in vandalism or violence are breaking the emergency law so that must also include the PTP core support of rice farmers who are blocking the highway in some areas and threatening to march on Bkk. Will they ever be named in any official pronouncements and threats or will the usual government double standards and selective blindness apply ? The rice farmers are a major threat, they haven't been paid for months, they are being given vague assurances of payment in three weeks or so, in other words after the election is safely won, so will the government risk further aggro by threatening them with prosecution / I very much doubt it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area the farmers are protesting is not in the area covered by the SOE They are [protesting but presumably being PTP supporters that's ok and they will fall within the SOE if they reach Bkk. Anyway keep making the rules to suit as you go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LuckyLew Posted January 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2014 Putting Chalerm in charge just goes to show how little the guy in Dubai cares about Thailand Arrest or kill suthep and Bangkok will be over run by the student wing rampaging and rioting IMO Thaksin and possible Chalerm deserve charges for crimes against humanity for previous events Now Chalerm spouting off about "extrajuducial killings" when referring to arresting Suthep ... same MO as war on drugs Looks like Chalerm is Thaksin's "sammy the Bull gravano" .... paid to do a specific job 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
