CAPO to push on with cases against protest leaders

BANGKOK, 19 March 2014 (NNT) – The Center for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) has vowed to proceed with all pending legal actions against core leaders of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) despite the revocation of the emergency decree.

Following the reactivation of the Internal Security Act (ISA) in place of the emergency law, CAPO Secretary-General Tharit Pengdit affirmed that all cases involving PDRC members would be unaffected as they were already in the judicial process.

He said all investigators, including the police, officials of the Department of Special Investigation and state prosecutors, would carry on their tasks the same way as before.

Mr Tharit pointed out that most of the cases stemmed from the protesters’ rebellious acts, illegal gatherings, instigation of chaos and blockades of election venues.

According to the Secretary-General, a total of 58 individuals are involved in those cases and summonses will be issued for them to come in and clarify their allegations again within these two weeks.

Should they fail to make their appearances, Mr Tharit said the cases would be forwarded to the court and arrest warrants would be requested without their defense.

In the latest development, the Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for PDRC core leader Chumpol Julasai for his disruption of the voting process at the Phasi Charoen District Office.

CAPO is intent on carrying out the arrest quickly in order to set an example to discourage others from committing similar wrongdoings in the future.

Who cares?

Not a single one will ever be prosecuted.... and rightly so.

Strange isn't it how they clamp down with the full power of the law the courts and then turn a blind eye to secession attempts, mass corruption and child murder.... all because it was orchestrated by supporters of their Thaksin god.

What a funny country we live in.

It's good to see that the CAPO continues with harassing the anti-government protesters. That will really impress Human Rights organisations, foreign diplomats and the UN.

[Scamper]

Because the emergency decree has been lifted, CMPO has now become transformed into CAPO. Big thrill. The same cast of characters, the same lines - the same legions of Thais who aren't listening.

[Tatsujin]

How are they getting in with the terrorism case against Jatuporn? Anything new?

[rkidlad]

Next story about about something that will result in nothing, please.

[MunterHunter]

I guess they didnt get the memo from Yingluck where she is decrying the use of courts, laws and legal processes to harass her people.

Please dont chase me with the law, we are far too busy chasing everyone else and dont have the time, resources or willpower to fight those cases against us!

She's a F*cking Hypocrit!

Do the PDRC leaders fear arrest and conviction to the extent that they evade the police warrants and judicial hearings? They fear injustice by the same Courts that pursue Government and PTP leaders. How can they represent themselves to Thailand as being for law and order when they themselves show complete disrespect for the law; the law is not one person but systematic rules of law to protect the public from criminal behavior. And yet PDRC is so critical of PTP and government leaders for committing alleged offenses and not giving themselves up to justice. The law does not exist for only one people and not other people. It applies to all equally and this is why PDRC will fail in its so-called reforms for corruption in that itself is as corrupt as those it purports to oppose.

"Mr Tharit pointed out that most of the cases stemmed from the protesters’ rebellious acts, illegal gatherings,

Hey Tharit slow down.

"stemmed from the protesters’ rebellious acts".

Yes there are a few underexposed, but the majority of the population wants to know:

What happens to our taxpayers money (including the farmers!).

"illegal gatherings,"

now that's not so bad because some people only stay in Lumpini Park.

"and blockades of election venues."

that sounds not good, to start maybe a little reform:
No criminals in government, in parliament or as an state service officer and also on election lists.

So now they check your assets.

4 Rai and a 8 Story house in or near a national park for 10 Million Baht?,

hey that is <deleted> cheap.

In the review of the rice scheme there is so much more money!

If the state would be able to recover 150.000.000.000 Baht corruption money and would give an independent institution 5% budget from this work:

150.000.000.000 baht corruption money from the rice scheme(estimate)

x 0,05

= 7.500.000.000 Baht

7,5 Billion Baht

7500 x 1 Million Baht.

but this Tharit do not understand.

Do you normally call carrying out the laws of the land "harassment", rubl? I understand that CAPO are carrying on with legitimate cases against the PDRC Core Leaders, that doesn't sound much like harassment of the protesters to me, well, not ones who haven't broken the law. One of those fine upstanding gentlemen now has an arrest warrant issued against him as a murder suspect.

My, you are a liberal.

It's probably agianst forum rules to call you a fool, so I won't, but you seem to deliberate obfuscate and troll around.

From the moment the undemocratic government with it's pushed through blanket amnesty bill got anti-government protests they started to condemn those protests, put the police on them, activate the CAPO, etc., etc. now how does that sound for a democracy like Thailand? Please help us UN to fight against these anti-government protesters who didn't even go home when Ms. Yingluck politely asked them because "it's not done yet. more to follow".

As for the arrest warrant regarding 'murder suspect', apart from the fact that we only seem to know that a red-shirt said he 'recognised' a PDRC leader we do not seem to have a murder at hand. The red-shirt is still alive it would seem.

Next we'll discuss the need for Suthep to wear a mask as there are too many people who recognise him

Maybe they don't fear the court case, rather they may fear what would happen to them alone in the hands of the police.

Actually, I don't know why they don't answer the warrants.

... and another demand for a hugely inflated budget...!!

With any luck it's along the lines of the scene in Pulp Fiction with Marcellus Wallace and Z (the cop) in the basement of the pawn shop.
