Suthep leads march to call on people to join mass rally this Saturday

BANGKOK: -- The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) will combine its investigation into People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) moves to stop voters from casting their ballot on February 2 with allegations of insurrection, for which PDRC leaders are already facing arrest.

DSI chief Tarit Pengdith, who is also secretary of the Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO), said PDRC protesters were still blocking government offices and their behaviour could be seen as a threat to government employees.

Considering additional charges

Hence, he said, the centre had invited permanent secretaries from all ministries to discuss this as well as the issuing of arrest warrants for PDRC leaders on four charges, namely unlawful entry, using coercion on others, property damage and disobeying CAPO's orders.

Tarit said the DSI would combine the charges of allegedly violating the emergency decree and obstructing the February 2 general elections for all 58 anti-government protest leaders.

In a separate move, Suthep Thaugsuban, PDRC secretary-general, led protesters on a 5-kilometre march yesterday to call on people to join a mass rally on Saturday.

The protesters marched out of Lumpini Park at 9.30am and proceeded onto Rama IV Road, before turning left into Surawong, then on to Mahesak, then Silom before returning to Lumpini at 1.30pm.

Suthep was guarded by five rows of bodyguards as he marched through the commercial district, which was temporarily closed to traffic.

The PDRC leader said yesterday's march was aimed at calling on people to join the rally on Saturday - the anti-government group's first move to mobilise crowds after a month-long pause. He also promised that the safety of those joining the rally on Saturday would be ensured thanks to the 1,000 or so guards.

Suthep also insisted that the PDRC disagreed with plans to hold an election, saying reforms had to be put in place first.

Meanwhile, the Students and People's Network for Thailand's Reform (STR) also led a rally to the Royal Thai Police headquarters yesterday to demand that investigation into attacks against anti-government protesters be speeded up.

The march led by STR leaders Nitithorn Lamlua and Uthai Yodmanee kicked off at 10.20am at the Chamai Maruchet rally site.

STR spokesman Amorn Amornratananon said the group wanted to push police chief Pol General Adul Saengsingkaew into speeding up the investigation into violent attacks against demonstrators.

I could ask of Tarit " nothing better to do with your time ? " but we all know his department has many outstanding cases which appear to have been completely forgotten as he responds to His Master's Voice.

Again? Seriously? Pronouncements by either Surapong or Tharit bring this phrase to mind, “If a tree falls in a forest and there's no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

Well gentlemen, “Is anybody listening?” “No!”, at least no one who’s sane and rationale.

DSI Tarit keeps running around in circles, one thing the PDRC keeps him employed, laying charges is one thing making them stick is another , the DSI is still having trouble arresting people in the imported car parts scam or telling the good wife of what happened to her husband , the U.N. Human rights lawyer that just disappeared , while Tarit makes a fool of himself and shows us how stupid he is, the police of Thailand can only be held in contempt, nothing new in that.

If Tarit is wondering why he keeps going in circles ha needs to look down ... He will probably notice that the courts he is wooing have actually nailed his left foot to the floor.

DSI what a waste of tax payers money, go and find some crimilas instead of farting around on you big chairs.

[TVGerry]

Poor Tarit. He's so pathetically ineffectual and insignificant, he has to announce useless actions he plans to make just to show he's still alive. What a sad little man.

I hope he hasn't forgotten the charges for undue noise against the whistle blowers, witnesses may be difficult to find however, as many of them couldn't hear the whistles over the din of exploding grenades.

And during this time Reds terrorist continue freely their nasty actions, with the benediction of CAPO and PT ....

Double standard

[JamesDean3]

Tarit, why not arrest the Pheu Thai supporter who is responsible for that weeklong Landfill Fire in Samut Prakan.

[dickyknee]

I'm curious, have any of the charges the DSI has ever filed stuck?
