Court of Justice seeks police action



BANGKOK: -- The Court of Justice yesterday asked the police to bring a person who posted on the Internet personal information of the Civil Court’s panel of judges and their photos to justice for it is tantamount to encourage harassment of the judges.

Spokesman of the Court of Justice Mr Bovornsak Thawipat said a person who used a pseudo name “Ku Tong Dai Sip Lan Chak Thaksin Nene” (I will get 10 milion baht from Thaksin surely) posted personal information of the Civil Court’s panel of judges involving a case filed by a co-leader of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) Thavorn Senniem against the caretaker government.

The court’s spokesman said Thavorn sought the Civil Court to revoke the state of emergency declared by the caretaker prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

He said that message posted by the person was intended to direct or persuade the people to harass the panel of judges in the case, and also aimed at disturbing public disorder and creating fear among the people.

He said the statement was inappropriate and breached the law.

The Court of Justice then would ask the National Police Chief Pol Gen Adul Saengsingkaew to act and stop the spread of the message to the public and to trace the wrongdoer for trial.

Adul says he will need 45 days to look into the legal aspects of the complaint.

[RockyBeerbelly]

Yet another example of red-shirt style democracy?

[Tatsujin]

Adul says he will need 45 days to look into the legal aspects of the complaint.

In next week's news:

"Despite their best efforts, National Police Chief Pol Gen Adul Saengsingkaew has expressed his dismay at the Police's continuing inability to find or arrest anyone for this heinous crime. Along with the perpetrators of the grenade attacks, the culprits remain at large and continue to sow discord amongst the Thai population.

Pol Gen Adul Saengsingkaew reiterated the importance of receiving information from the public in general in connection with these cases, and confirms that any and all such information received will be promptly and fairly investigated prior to it being lost in the recycling bin.

He continued by thanking all members of the caretaker Govt for their ongoing efforts to increase his bank balance and is looking forward to the next medal to be awarded to him in Hong Kong by the Head of the Police Department, Thaksin Shinawatra."

Surely head CMPO Pol. Captain Chalerm with his half billion war room internet watchdog will be able to tell us within minutes the full details on the posters with the nice pseudo name?

[Scamper]

The Thai Court of Justice has lodged a long-overdue call for protection of judges, The irony is that they are directing such a request to Adul Saengsingkaew - Thaksin's hand-picked National Police Chief.

If u can intimidate the Justice system, then u can intimidate the law, and if the authorities allow that to happen, u will create a situation where lawlessness will rule and the kingdom will be destroyed for many years, and many will die. Including your children and the people you love.

[chainarong]

There's seem to be a misconception by some people in Thailand that you can do whatever you like , this couldn't be further from the truth, everyone has a right , that right is freedom, without harassment, violence , intimidation or any other type of weird thing that some people seem to think is okay, judges are on the no no list, no where in a Democratic world would you find judges being threatened , when or if the reforms get moving ,the law covering these offences needs to be upgraded, lets get this clear, in a democracy you do not cramp someone else's space. Respect is the word

Yes because this people are not practicing to see independent justice in their country, they only know and cheer justice in order of power like all dictatorship country.....

Mainly because they have been fed misinformation, lies, and pure BS for years by those wishing to profit from their lack of education and the unavailability of critical comment. The UDD is Thaksin's propaganda ministry, with no visible funding, no members other than those appointed, and the so-called "red leaders" that make up its staff are owned lock, stock and barrel by that criminal.

[Artisi]

Just one more reason why the corrupt PTP, carefully guided and controlled by an overseas criminal fugitive has to be eliminated post-haste. Purge the country of this sewage scum and Thailand will stand a chance of sorting out its many ongoing problems.

Well, we can't have anybody disturbing public disorder now, can we?

yes, the red half because the judges refuse to do what thaksin tells them too. Only simple minded fools would take the red side in this, the courts have a job to do and if they rule not in your favour you are supposed to accept it not threaten them as the ptp/reds do.

Don't fall for his unsubstantiated "beliefs". "Beliefs" are stronger than facts to these guys simply because they are unsubstantiated and suit a political agenda.

For instance facts state that the majority don't support the PTP anymore. Facts state that yingluck is no longer welcome in this caretaker mode by the majority. Of course those facts will be denounced and wonderful colorful defenses will be heard to debase them and their "belief" that "half the country don't appear to trust the judges" will override the facts. Kinda like the fact that the majority didn't want the amnesty. They disregard those facts and substitute it with a "belief". The fact that the constitution was voted on by a majority is rebutted with wonderful stories that if given to a movie producer in Hollywood would make for a tragic drama.

For the sake of argument lets pretend that half the country doesn't like the judges. Meaning that of a population out of 66 million odd then 33 million don't like the judges. 18% of the population voted for PTP. So parrot suggests that every PTP supporter from the 2011 elections don't like the judges as well as well as every child under 18 that lives in Thailand as well as some DEM supporters. See what I mean about there "beliefs" Facts always win hands down.

If you break the law then obviously the result would anger you, but when you have a terrorist wing called the UDD as your back up then anger is a gross understatement as can be shown from the militia being built up in the north as we speak and that is a FACT!!!

That's what The UDD are asking for and seem intent on doing!!

You are quite right ! The half who wander around with clubs and machetes, fancy in their red shirts and paid to beat up anyone who does not agree with their bizarre concept of democracy.

No he wasn't, maybe I should not have brought politics into this, it's just that everything Sichonsteve said could be said to the protesters.

If there is bias they need to be changed so they are balanced rather than just complaining that they are biased except when they rule in your favour of course. By balanced I don't mean the courts ending up as a Shinawatra family reunion with Yingluck's son as head of the Constitutional Court

That should be part of the reforms.

Just what is it I said exactly??

[NoshowJones]

Sichonsteve, you said that everyone has the right to freedom without intimidation etc, which is spot on, and could have been aimed at the Protesters, I said that I should not have bought politics in to this, and neither I should, so you have my apologies.

I think that you should direct any apologies at chainarong and not me!! But decent of you to apologise anyway. Most posters wouldn't dream of doing this.
