DSI chief says five key PDRC leaders are foreigners



BANGKOK: -- The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) says five foreigners are among the leaders of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (DPRC) now protesting the caretaker government and February 2 election.

The DSI chief Tarrit Pengdit, however, did not elaborate the nationals of the five foreigners he claimed are among the PDRC leaders but said he would like the PDRC for clarification.

He also said that the DSI is now gathering more evidence to submit to the Criminal Court in its renewed attempt to seek arrest warrant for the arrest of 16 PDRC leaders on insurrection charge after the first attempt was rejected.

The Criminal Court yesterday rejected the DSI’s request for warrant arrest citing reason of weak evidence and no other witness except the DSI chief, to support the charge against all the 16 protesters.

Meanwhile the Civil Court will today at 11.00 a.m. hand down a judgment on a petition by a PDRC leader Thaworn Senniem, a former Songkhla MP of the Democrat party, seeking its order to revoke the declaration of state of emergency by the caretaker prime minister with reason that the declaration is illegitimate as there is no state of emergency in the country.

It doesnt matter if they find the SOE was illegitimate. The PTP and YL have never conceded to this courts decisions when it opposed their actions

Tarit - Every time he opens his mouth a fool speaks (Adapted from something a Chemistry Teacher at Grammar School used to come out with.)

You over estimate his mother.

Always when you think the democracy movement is overdoing things, or is a bit extreme than some government crony comes out of the wood and shows you what the alternative is....

[Tony121]

Who gave him the info, Robert Amsterdam ?

I hope you're not referring to Mr T as a 'mother'...?

[Kilgore Trout]

Blaming the foreigners; the last refuge of a scoundrel....

[Costas2008]

Oh, No, DSI found out about me.

Have to dash off now.............

Oy vey!

So he pads his way to the court,

-Tarit: "Your honor, your honor!. This bad men are mounting an insurrection!"

-The judge: "Have proof?"

-"ehmmm... 'cause Thak... (buzzing sound from his collar), eeek! no, 'cause I, me! say so your honor"

-Judge: Next!

-Tarit talking to his collar: "I'm sorry master, I'm soBZZZZZZ!!! yelp!"

[nowork114]

All right, I confess. Where I should go to surrend myself?

[Emptyset]

I guess Michael Yon is one of them. Wonder who the other four are?

I imagine even she'd slap his ass if only she could work out if he was the right way up.

Suthep blames foreigners, Tarrit blames foreigners. What a pathetic bunch.

OMG now this one is at it .... so whats the bet this time ? Chinese or North Korean ..... kinda makes sense but...... naaaaa just more xenophonic thainess bs

PS if the court revokes the SOE after Suthep has confirmed they will do everything they can to stop the election process then the Civil court are paid off and bought .... no question.

Yeah I don't know why they (PRDRC) took it to the Civil Court for a ruling, perhaps the caretaker Government find them to be more legitimate than they do the Constitutional Court and as such would abide by their ruling? Bahahaha who am I kidding...

I would bet foreigners could run the place a darned sight better too. OK maybe not Kim yung nutjob but........

That would Kim Jong-nutjob... Just for the sake of fairness

I guess Michael Yon is one of them. Wonder who the other four are?

Well Abhisit and Korn were both born in England, that clearly makes them foreigners

[Dogmatix]

I remember listening to a speaker on the red shirt stage at Ratchprasong. The sole theme of his speech was, "Did you know that Mr Abhisit Vejajiva is actually a Yuan (Vietnamese)?" repeated ad nauseam to great cheers and foot clapping.

The Vejajivas (one of whom is a member of the Yingluck cabinet and a close personal advisor) did in fact come from China via Vietnam but the Shinawatras, who are Hakkas, and most other Thai political leaders also came from China.

Quite apart from the nonsense of racial origin and midway migration points, the reality is that Abhisit and Korn are British and Thaksin is Montenegrin and possibly Nicaraguan, Ugandan and Fijian too. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Yingluck had also picked up a Montenegrin passport too, just to be safe, on her otherwise pointless state visit there last year.

If PDRC leaders are really foreigners who don't also hold Thai citizenship like the leading Thai political players, Tarit should show the evidence and deport them for involvement in political activities. As usual he is just making a noise and we will not hear much more of this nonsense.

We can also add to that the fact that Thaksin should never have even been allowed to stand for political office in the first place, as he is only second-generation Chinese-Thai.

At the time of his appointment (as possibly still so, unless the rules have since been changed), one would have had to have been at least third-generation to hold political office.

Unless he surrendered his Thai citizenship, then his primary nationality is Thai - which makes his a Thai Subject with dual British nationality. His Thai citizenship takes precedence - if he was involved in a crime in Thailand, or an accident, the British Embassy would not intervene in any way as his Thai citizenship would take precedence. Same with Thaksin, even when his passport was cancelled (before it was reissued to him) he was primarily a Thai citizen and remains so.

Abhisit claims he doesn't and has never had a British passport, as does Korn. While I think it unlikely they never had them, given their long years of study there they would have been foolish not to apply, they are British citizens whether or not they have passports, until they have formally renounced citizenship, paid a chunky fee, and it has been approved by the Home Secretary. British citizens who don't want to apply for passports can also claim right of abode in the UK and (for another fat fee) obtain a certificate of entitlement in their foreign passports. This will also entitle them to visa free travel some other countries, including Gibraltar, and easier visas to others. I can believe that AV hasn't had a British passport since he became party leader but he may well have a CoE nestling in his Thai passport and can apply for a British passport at any time. His daughters are also British by descent. Thaksin's son was born American but apparently renounced US citizenship about the time his father transferred SHIN shares to him which would have caused complications due to the US policy of global taxation.

[culicine]

Sad thing is the Thai populace, which consists of about 70% hillbillies, will lap it up and believe it! The DSI should realise that dual passport holders are still THAI.
