seajae Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 lets wait and see what the courts say, this could become a real eye opener for everyone. If they back the police they are disgreeing with the constitutional court and if they back the protesters then the ptp are screwed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scamper Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What a profoundly silly exercise. The prisons intended to be filled to the brim with the spoils of Chalerm's emergency decree - now are occupied by one man, caught red-handed in the archaic act of attempting to digest a meal in a food stall of a public mall.

GeorgeO Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 lets wait and see what the courts say, this could become a real eye opener for everyone. If they back the police they are disgreeing with the constitutional court and if they back the protesters then the ptp are screwed. I envisage him being released, if not unconditionally, then on bail awaiting alleged 'criminal' charges, since the courts have already ruled that there is insufficient evidence of sedition in any of the numerous cases where arrest warrants have been sought. I also expect to hear some comment about the DSI Chief, Tarit, overstepping his authority by not allowing someone detained, under the very suspect use of the emergency decree, to seek bail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The court’s rejection came after the police under command of the Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CMPO) sought permission to detain the protest leader Sonthiyarn Chuenruethai-naitham for seven more days after the first permissible 7-day period empowered to the police by law expires Monday.But the court rejected on ground of having no substantial evidence to extend the detention period. Instead it ordered that the leader Sonthiyarn be freed on Monday. -- Thai PBS 2014-02-13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Police Told By Court To Release PCAD Coordinator By Khaosod English BANGKOK: -- The police are instructed by the court to release a prominent anti-government activist less than a week since he was arrested.Mr. Sonthiyarn Chuenruethai-naitham, a core leader of the People′s Committee for Absolute Democracy With the King As Head of State (PCAD) and a former director of an anti-government TV channel, was apprehended by the police 4 days ago due to his involvement with the ongoing protests, which are in principle banned under the emergency decree.The police also currently hold arrest warrants on other PCAD leaders such as Mr. Suthep Thaugsuban, and many observers see Mr. Sonthiyarn′s arrest as the beginning of the authorities′ offensive move against the protest leadership.But today the Ratchada Criminal Court ruled that the police must release Mr. Sonthiyarn, claiming that the suspect has been fully cooperating with the police in their investigation."Therefore, it is beyond reasonable cause to detain the suspect any further," the court statement reads.The police previously denied Mr. Sonthiyarn a bail release, due to the enactment of the State of Emergency, which allowed the police to detain suspects up to a week without any charge.Speaking at the court, Mr. Sonthiyarn cheerfully told reporters that he is in good health, as the police have taken good care of him.Nevertheless, Mr. Sonthiyarn said he would take legal action against the officers who raided his residence after his arrest, alleging that the police have illegally entered his properties.The PCAD leader would be released later today at Pathum Thani Border Patrol Police headquarters, where he had been detained in recent days, police said.Source: http://www.khaosod.co.th/en/view_newsonline.php?newsid=TVRNNU1qSTNPREV5TUE9PQ== -- Khaosod English 2014-02-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really was no option but to release him on the same grounds as the refusal to deport Seghal, he is clearly no threat to security...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
