DSI Seeks Arrest Of Suthep For 2010 Unrest Deaths
By Khaosod English


Mr. Suthep Thaugsuban

BANGKOK: -- The Division of Special Investigation is seeking arrest warrant for anti-government protest leader over his role in authorising the deadly crackdown on Redshirts protesters in 2010.

Chief of the DSI, Mr. Tharit Pengdit, said he would apply for the arrest warrant at the Criminal Court on Wednesday.

Mr. Suthep Thaugsuban, who is currently leading the People′s Committee for Absolute Democracy With the King As Head of State (PCAD), is facing trials along with former Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva over the military crackdown on the Redshirts in 2010, which resulted in the deaths of over 90 people, mostly civilians.

Mr. Suthep was serving as a Deputy Prime Minister and overseer of the crackdown operations at the time.

He has previously postponed his appearance in the court to acknowledge his murder charges, citing the needs to stay with his fellow anti-government protesters.

However, Mr. Tharit suggested that any further delay is unacceptable. In a press conference yesterday, Mr. Tharit said he was seeking the arrest warrant to bring Mr. Suthep to acknowledge his charges, as instructed by the Prosecutors team.

Mr. Suthep and Mr. Abhisit repeatedly denied the murder charges, claiming that the shadowy armed militants were to blame for deaths of security forces and protesters in the 2010 unrest.

Don't forget to add Poo and the drunk to the arrest warrants while you're at it. They did order the crackdown that claimed lives also. After all, as PM Poo said, there shouldn't be a double standard.

[Fat Haggis]

hilarious, all this tit for tat is making them all look like Fred carno's circus entertainers!!

[Costas2008]

Mr Tharit and his colleagues should be sitting on the bench now answering about the 2014 deaths.

And I agree to what he suggested that any further delay is unacceptable.

Lets see if you are singing the same song when YL and her cohorts have warrants to arrest them for murdering innocents.

What exactly are they trying to charge him with? The orders were given in an official capacity, there isn't anything he could be legitimately charged with that's within the jurisdiction of the DSI or the criminal court.

Suthep take note and learn from Yingluck: this is how you handle protests... not with a bloodbath.

I think you'll find that many people don't share the same views as yourself, especially those who live in the North and the East, and those in Bangkok, whom he impeded their rights to vote..

They are very very fast.

[dcutman]

Now that the the protesters have consolidated and the police are back at work extorting money from Bangkok motorists and merchants alike. I think Tharit and Chalerm are on their own serving any and all warrants issued for Suthep.

As usual he can be located on stage or out walking on public streets So get those disguises out and go get him.

Good luck with that boys.

She's got her own murder charges to contend with now. Which are equally ridiculous.

[seajae]

shouldnt tarit be putting his name on that list seeing how was part of the committee that decided to use force in 2010, strange that now he is also part of the ptp committee that decided to use force in this protest as well, seems he just likes to have/see people shot, what a moron.

I may be wrong (I often am) but I think the main legal difference is that Suthep ordered and had "live fire zones" set up, which seems to almost ensure people will get shot.

As an example ... If I order someone to throw a rock off a bridge and it kills someone, would I not be implicated in their murder?

If I order someone to fix a bridge and a rock drops and it kills someone, am I still implicated in a murder?

I use the analogy just to try to take away any emotional color blindness

Was there a crackdown during both times? Yes.

Did people die during both times? Yes.

After the live fire zones were established, the red protestors were warned not to go in there. At least they were given a warning. In essence, to make it sound cold, they got themselves killed.

Exactly

If the army has a test firing range, you are told not to go onto said firing range, but you don't listen and go anyway and get exploded by an RPG-7, army's fault ?....

Case 2 in most countries would return accidental death unless negligence could be proven.

At least you could understand what I was getting at ... They are different cases and circumstances ... Both involve a bridge, a rock and a death.

Tharit was member of the same "murder" troop.

He investigates against himself? I'm confused.

The people were already there ... It would be the army's fault if they set up a firing range with a village in the middle of it.

One had live fire zones and gave warnings to the protestors they'd be shot if they violated the live fire zones. The other sent their troops in without any warnings and killed protestors without any warning whatsoever. Yes you're right, there is a difference.
