CAPO seeks legal action against Suthep for attempting to overthrow government
By English News



BANGKOK, April 8 - Thailand's Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) said it is collecting evidence to bring charges against the leaders of the anti-government People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) for unconstitutionally attempting to overthrow the country's democratic system.

CAPO said today that it will use last Saturday's comments of PDRC leader Suthep Thaugsuban, which are deemed as breaching Section 113 of the Criminal Code, in evidence to file insurrection charges against Mr Suthep and another 57 protest leaders.

Caretaker Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul said that he has instructed concerned officials to transcribe and translate Mr Suthep's remarks and distribute them to all embassies in Thailand.

Meanwhile, Pheu Thai Party spokesman Prompong Nopparit said he has submitted a recording of Mr Suthep's remarks to Department of Special Investigation (DSI) Director-General Tarit Pengdit seeking agency to bring criminal charges against Mr Suthep and the other leaders for rebellion.

Mr Prompong said he will also petition the Constitutional Court within this week.

After receiving the complaint Mr Tarit said that DSI investigators, the National Police Bureau and the Office of Attorney General have closely monitored the PDRC movements.

He said that last Saturday, there was not only Mr Suthep, but also a number of other key protest leaders who were behind the moves.

Mr Tarit said that CAPO is meeting today to consider the issue. (MCOT online news)

Yawn..... OK we get it already.

It will all fail though and you know it.

The courts will throw it out as a deliberate misinterpretation and lack of credible evidence.

Then the defamation charges will follow.

[jcb2001]

Suthep and other PDRC officials seems not to be worried about these PTP charges. Pheu Thai is pulling at straws as they are swept out the house.

We'll see if their is any traction being generated.

It will be likely mentioned on stage tonight.

He is probably laughing his tits off and chalking up even more targets to go after once control is removed from them.

As time draws on, the government are getting more and more desperate to spin the whole issue and stir up a hornet's nest for a civil war.

It won't work, it will just land the red idiots in prison for incitement to cause acts of terrorism.

I doubt any bail will be granted thanks to Thaksin's example.

This civil war is what they are really after, as it is a credible precursor to secession and we all know that is really the agenda of Thaksin and the UDD.

So no denials about what suthep said - strange seeing as you were accusing everybody (well, "red farangs" in your words ) of lying and that they should be banned. Quite the keyboard warrior aren't you?

"Actually, that is not a translation from a neutral source. That is a translation from Khaosod which is a copy and paste from their actual news report.

So you claim it to be a 'mild' translation do you?..... by a Thaksin funded propaganda rag?????

Please tell us why ALL the red farang have to lie to form a comment?

Are you all totally incapable of debate without resorting to lies and fact twisting?

You should be banned from the forum."

It's hard to make a substantive criminal case of insurrection as a result of remarks made on a protest stage, although lese majeste (not an issue here) is an exception to this. No one has been successfully prosecuted for this since the political divide began, although there are many cases outstanding. I expect Suthep will be able to argue that he meant something different and his remarks were taken out of context, just some red shirts did after they were accused of calling for a for a separate state. As for the Constitutional Court they threw out the petition against the PDRC for trying to topple the democratic system by disrupting the elections. So it's unlikely they would hear a case that just involved some crazy sounding comments on the stage.

The picture seems to show only junior staff from CAPO making the announcement, suggesting they are not taking this too seriously.

[Scamper]

All the secessionists in the UDD must be terribly relieved. Ko Tee is relieved. Nattawut and Charapong endorsed a UDD platform that included secession. They're relieved. Why ? Because CAPO is taking no interest in them. Why ? Because they are Thaksin's boys, as are CAPO and Chalerm. What happens to Nattawut and Charapong and the charges against them ? What charges ? There will be no charges. There will never be any charges. Nothing. They remain in cabinet. Yingluck doesn't even take them aside. Why ? Because they are Thaksin's boys. Who is CAPO going after ? Suthep. Why ? Because he said a stupid thing ( unlike Ko Tee and Nattawut and Charapong ) that was subsequently grossly exaggerated and made even worse. And he's not Thaksin's boy. Why are they going after all 57 leaders of the PDRC, even Thaworn - who immediately distanced himself from Suthep's remarks ? Because Thaksin wants the whole of the PDRC movement to be closed down. And they aren't Thaksin's boys. Why is Thaksin's lawyer, Noppodon, trying to tie Abhisit and the whole Democratic party with the PDRC together ? Because Thaksin's hates Abhisit. He hates the Democratic party, and he wants all opposition out the door. And they're not Thaksin's boys.

[Ricardo]

No real need to try to overthrow the current caretaker-government, when they're already making such a splendid balls-up of running things, as Yingluck-&-Co are !

Wasn't it CAPO-Supremo Chalerm, who once described the failed Iranian bombers in Bangkok, as merely expressing their legitimate political beliefs ?

Ah, but they weren't anti-PTP, of course ...

With Chalerm running the show it is doomed from the start based on his track record. Maybe this is why he is not in the photo. It just goes to show you even ear medicine kills brain cells

You are wasting your time, the courts are part of sutheps people.

[hcvc]

Prosecuting a protest leader on insurrection charges will prove difficult in a Thai court of law. It would help if the CAPO hard evidence of a more serious crime committed by Suthep – such as giving a cooking demonstration on the rally stage.

Whatever. But, it does seem that the one sided, but always ready to change Tarit is only interested in pursuing opponents of the Thaksin regime.

Not one single investigation against anyone who is pro Thaksin. If you're pro Thaksin you can stand on a stage and openly call for a rebellion and the establishment of a separate country ruled by PTP. No one in law enforcement remotely interested.

It does seem the DSI are a little biased in who they chose to investigate and which cases they pursue. More like Department of Shin Investigations.

The Economist: "Thailand's Political Crisis"

As reported in a recent edition of The Economist:

"One way of looking at the revolution of 1932 is to see that it failed to destroy the privileges of an entrenched elite. That history might seem to offer comfort to the current campaign, which seeks to reassert the elite’s interests against a government of elected upstarts, led by Thaksin Shinawatra and his family; counter-revolutions have a track record of success in Thailand. This time however the protesters—the counter-revolutionaries, as it were—must be wary of a further backlash by the Shinawatra's own supporters, “the red shirts”. Over the weekend tens of thousands of red shirts gathered in the capital, Bangkok. They had come to make it known that they do not intend to let Mr Suthep and his backers get away with another coup, judicial or otherwise."
