Prompong files sedition complaint against Suthep with DSI
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Pheu Thai Party spokesman Prompong Nopparit on Tuesday filed a complaint with Department of Special Investigation, accusing protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban of sedition.

Prompong alleged that Suthep and other PDRC leaders had violated Article 113 of the Criminal Code by declaring that they would seize power to rule.

The Pheu Thai spokesman said Suthep had declared that he would seize the mandate to rule should the prime minister be ousted by a Constitutional Court ruling and that he would nominate and countersign the appointment of the next prime minister.

He said Suthep's statement constituted an act of sedition.

"The 2007 Constitution requires that a prime minister be selected by the House of Representatives. So, Suthep and his associates have committed edition," Prompong said.

DSI chief Tarit Pengdith received the complaint n person.

Tarit said the DSI, the Office of the Attorney General and the Royal Thai Police have been closely monitoring actions of Suthep and other PDRC leaders.

Tarit said the DSI would assign a team of investigators to check Suthep's speeches and actions before taking legal action against him.

Tarit noted that before Suthep announced he would seize power, he had consulted PDRC leaders, thus legal action would also be taken against these leaders for complicity.

Haha the person who's supposed to be in jail now filing a complaint with the DSI! How amusing.

Ok, Can Prompong fill a complait too against Reds leaders for secession, terrorism, children killing, sedition, rebellion and death threating against judge ?

[NongKhaiKid]

Tarit was last seen rubbing his hands and jumping for joy.

"DSI chief Tarit Pengdith received the complaint n person."

Now why am I not surprised?

"Tarit said the DSI would assign a team of investigators to check Suthep's speeches and actions before taking legal action against him."

"Tarit noted that before Suthep announced he would seize power, he had consulted PDRC leaders, thus legal action would also be taken against these leaders for complicity."

DSI will investigate to find them all guilty as charged.

It's just too funny. Tarit and PTP, hand in hand as they finally head off into the sunset.

hand in hand as they finally head off into the sunset.

On their way to their new home town Dubai.

[WoopyDoo]

Khaosod is in for a hell of a time when this government is toppled.

Oh boy are they in a roasting when Yingluck is safely in Dubai.

[wabothai]

I hope thare are enough judges in thailand.

[winstonc]

you would think that finding the scum that murdered those children and others would be no1 priority...gee im gullible sometimes..

[mrtoad]

Nothing yet regarding the Trat atrocities, but Tarit is busy when it comes to listen to his masters voice in Dubai.

[Tatsujin]

Nothing from Yingluck because they are "protecting" her by not involving her. Won't work though. Ultimately she's the one responsible for these idiots and the DSI. If you ever want to see "bias" in action though or "politically motivated" actions, here it is in black and white.

[Scamper]

Has there ever been an administration - anywhere, at any time - that fills each day in front of the tube with newer and newer charges of insurrection ? This isn't an administration. It's a band of criminologists suffering from Tourette's.

" The 2007 Constitution requires that a prime minister be selected by the House of Representatives. "

I love it how Pheu Thai manage to get this in under the carpet. Articles 172 and 173 give the Senate the power to nominate a prime minister in lieu of a parliamentary vacuum. The Constitutional Court is studying a motion right now that includes these very articles for consideration.

" Tarit noted that before Suthep announced he would seize power, he had consulted PDRC leaders, thus legal action would also be taken against these leaders for complicity. "

What an over-reach. Thaworn immediately distanced himself from Suthep's remarks, but Tarit naturally is now going after the lot of them. Let's take a pause for a reality check, shall we ? Is this not the same administration that has taken its cue from a man in a Dubai hotel suite ? One hates to split hairs, but exactly how does one quantify insurrection under these specific circumstances ?

Yes, the irony of this is just palpable...!!

'Tarit said the DSI would assign a team of investigators to check Suthep's speeches and actions before taking legal action against him.'

You say you are checking....... Now you are saying he is already guilty and all the other leaders too???

'Tarit noted that before Suthep announced he would seize power, he had consulted PDRC leaders, thus legal action would also be taken against these leaders for complicity.'

Strange how none of this activity is coming directly from Yingluck.

It is coming from Jatuporn. Nattawut and Prompang.... the very three people who are soon to be 100% guaranteed slammed up in prison.

To get warrants for arrest, the courts need evidence and if the court does not find any evidence then we can all assume that it has been a load of boll-x all along and that is another defamation charge to add to your list Prompang old boy.

Ms. Yingluck and her caretaking cabinet need to be a wee bit more careful in their condemnations and accusations because of their functions. Pheu Thai spokespersons and Pheu Thai MPs have no some restrictions it would seem. Also DSI head Tarit is of course only doing his duty in investigating without bias alleged crimes

Head off might end up being the end result.

[hcvc]

The apex of irony would be if the media sources that have propelled the anti-government movement inadvertently serve to document the transgressions of the protest leaders.

I don't think that it was rubbing his hands that made him jump for joy,I think he was spotted down Soi Cowboy.

Don't scratch it too much or it will never heal.

[tingtongteesood]

Same same as every other day of the last 5 months - NEXT !

[bigbamboo]

You would ...but it seems it's much more important to Tart to add yet another charge to Suthep's already long list. You'd think he would have learnt a lesson from when Thaksin had a similarly long charge sheet. It soon became apparent that to hit him with the whole lot would take years and years to get a result and so the courts went for one stone cold certainty. They won and Thaksin had to run.

If the DSI ever hopes to nail Suthep they'll have to do something similar but they need something that only Suthep is guilty of. Sedition, corruption, murder..... all these can also be leveled at Tarit's boss so he's wasting his time there.

I always get PTP spokesman Prompong Nopparit confused with Thaksin mouthpiece, Noppadon Pattama. I think it's Noppadon that is supposed to report for jail.

No, Prompong received a 12-month, non-suspended custodial sentence for libel, but being Thailand, he still roams free and still holds political office...!!

Thank you for the clarification.
