BANGKOK, 26 February 2014 (NNT) – Deputy Government Spokesperson First Lieutenant Sunisa Loetphakkhawat was detained by People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) guards for almost an hour on Tuesday while running her own errands in the Siam Square area of Bangkok.

First Lieutenant Sunisa was spotted by PDRC protesters who were camped at the Pathumwan rally site when she was in front of a Nittiphon Clinic branch in Siam Square. The protesters then started blowing their whistles and PDRC guards moved in to apprehend her. She was taken to the back of the Bangkok Cultural Center building, near the stage of the Pathumwan rally site, and kept there. Press members were kept from taking photographs of the detainment of the deputy government spokesperson.

PDRC core figures such as Suthep Thaugsuban and Sathit Wongnongtoei were reportedly alarmed by the detaining, announcing on stage that guards and protesters must refrain from using violence. Reporters said Mr. Suthep was visibly upset by the development.

PDRC guards then took First Lieutenant Sunisa to Siam Paragon mall's car park and released her, after close to an hour of detainment.

Deputy spokeswoman Sunisa evicted from Pathumwan rally site

BANGKOK: -- Deputy Government Spokeswoman Sunisa Lertpakawat was spotted near the Pathumwan rally site at 7:30 pm and was evicted by security guards soon after.

Protesters spotted the spokeswoman sitting in front of a beauty clinic and blew the whistles, prompting the security guards to check and find her.

She was taken by guards to be inside the Bangkok Museum for a while for fear that she might be harmed by some angry protesters.

The guards later took her to the car park of Siam Paragon and released her.

I think if the guards had not detained her a lot worse could of happened.

Was she on a spying mission?

[ikurauni]

It is getting crazier.

The opposition can do the same. There always exist people who are extreme.

It looks like this political conflict won't end very quickly. More violence yet to come.

It is better to stay away from the area.

Do these guards have the authority by law to detain people at will now?

She was detained on a public street, not on private property. Siam Square doesn't belong to the Suthep militants.

Sick bunch of people.

I think that's called kidnapping. Or maybe false imprisonment?

Have the courts granted some extra powers to the guards?

[tullynagardy]

Suthep has created a monster he increasingly no longer has control of.

The previous corrupt government may seem like heaven compared to the anarchy that is about to ensue.

Another nail in the legal/justice system.

Rounding people up on the street.

These people really are so poorly educated they don't realise how predictable this all is.

They are slowly strangling thailand.

If you call allowing bombs, grenades and machine guns a heaven then yeah , corrupt government is much better

Spying on the sales at Siam. Jesus wept.

There is a village missing its...

[TheClog]

Only one word for it............Kidnapping.

Sunisa should make a formal complaint to the police to have the protest leaders arrested.

Perspective, please. The pro-government side has already assassinated one of the protest leaders on a public road, while he was not even engaged in a protest.

Where is the proof that he was assassinated by a pro-government side?

Otherwise you are rumor mongering, which is against forum rules. And it's off-topic anyways. Stick to the topic please.

Solipsism

I would have thought that Sunisa once she was cornered by whistling protesters was thankful for the intervention of the guards which was clearly for her safety.

I bet they also knew that in doing so, there would be many idiots slamming them with 'kidnapping accusations' etc....

They would have been right.

Maybe they should have just left her to her fate.

Wonder what would have happened had a Dem spokesperson wandered into a red shirt camp????

She was taken by guards to be inside the Bangkok Museum for a while for fear that she might be harmed by some angry protesters.

.

If you consider this as 'kidnapping' what would you consider all the crimes this government have openly committed not even mentioning all the crimes Thaksin has committed against the public with his slaughterings

Is anybody still wondering why YL is spending most of her time in hiding?

Sutheps thugs are detaining people in the street and holding them for questioning, it is about time that the thugs were brought to book. Poor girl must have been terrified, she is only just older than a child. (and very pretty)

My god...

Stop exploiting the 'child' angle.... she is NOT a child.

We all know what your lot do to children.

[jaidam]

Hope the guards had a few dozen rolls of tissue paper for this tearful army deserter. Did she ever get punishment for deserting the army and running off to kneel in front of Thaksin in London and write the brainless propaganda "Thaksin, where are you?"

Spying??..anyone can stroll through the protest sites........she was more likely going to the beauty clinic or to get an iced espresso!

[virtualtraveller]

Come on, tempers and tensions are running high, at worst this is just a publicity own goal for the PDRC, she wasn't roughed up, she was released after an hour, the guards were over zealous and who can blame them in this climate.

I know she is not a child, I said that she is just older than a child and she must have been terrified to have been taken off the streets by a gang of thugs.

Are you saying that it is OK to take young women off the streets and hold them against their will?

Looks like the second report is more realistic than the first.

What it amounts to is that the guards got her out of out of harms way and took her to a safe place.

Mind you she should not have been hassled in the first place.

But then neither should the singer in CM.

The hate is really out of control on this country and on this board, as we see in previous posts on this subject.

And many people already condemned that assassination. But I see many people here does not speak a word about this serious intimidation act.

Guys, if we continue to play the football hooligans "my team vs your team" game, we sure not help the situation.

Both sides should give themselves a big calm time and condemn criminal attacks, and vile actions like this one.

Until cannot lower the tones and reach a dialogue there will be no solution to the present crisis.

The Nation has tried to spin the incident as The hero guard protecting the girl from the whistle blowing mob?

They had to take her around the back of a building away from the press and hold her for an hour to protect her?

It's no different than the behaviour of The Red shirts in 2009 and 2010.

It certainly wasn't kidnap, but more like false imprisonment. Either way not acceptable. However, on stupidity not sure who is the most stupid, Sunisa for going into that area, or the PDRC guards for detaining her?

This board is a microcosm of what is happening. Anger followed by defensiveness as my/yours/his/hers position is challenged. No one is really using their mind, just following base emotions......until that sad but predictable outcome.....somebody gets hurt.

First Lieutenant Sunisa. She is a junior officer and wouldn't wield much clout, a nobody in the big scheme of things. She probably just joined the military and got seconded to the position.

Hiding from farmers and awkward questions about the rice scheme. Cowardice.
