Sources confirm Abhisit's life under threat: Democrats
THE NATION

BANGKOK: -- DEMOCRAT PARTY leader Abhisit Vejjajiva could not attend the meeting with Election Commission (EC) on Tuesday because three intelligence sources had warned him he might be putting his life in danger.

Democrat Party deputy spokesperson Mallika Boonmeetrakool said yesterday that intelligence sources from the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), the Democrat Party and state security agencies all warned that Abhisit would not be safe if he attended the meeting, she said.

The Democrat Party has asked the caretaker government to confirm if there was indeed an "assassination" team comprised of a group from Lampang that is allegedly in town to identify the target, a group from Klong Toei and another that created a bloody scene at Ramkhamhaeng University in November last year.

"If the government is sincere, then it should check whether the group that stayed at a resort on Ram-Indra Road was the same group that had previously committed a crime and has, so far, been let off scot free," she said.

Meanwhile, red-shirt leader Lungyim Tasawang admitted that he had Phalang Prathet Thai Party leader Dachai Uchukosolkarn carrying a placard featuring the message: "To reform the country, first reform the Democrat Party and the Election Commission before elections'' at the EC-hosted meeting.

He also said that after Abhisit did not show up at the meeting, he posted a message on his Facebook saying: "The meeting has not started, waiting for Abhisit. Going to order brother Sangiem to shoot twice so they disperse and go home."

Lungyim insisted that this message was insignificant and reasoned that everybody knew that some groups would lay siege to the meeting.

"Even Banharn's group could not attend. Everybody knows that if Abhisit fails to reach an agreement with Suthep, everyone will end up being held hostage," he said.

Apart from Abhisit, Pheu Thai Party leader Charupong Ruangsuwan also did not show up at the meeting.

Meanwhile, EC member Somchai Srisutthiyakorn voiced concern over the shooting incident that took place on Tuesday morning near the Government Complex on Chaeng Wattana Road.

He said bomb specialists had been asked to scan the area for explosive devices but rejected the possibility of suicide bombs.

Didn't know the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) and the Democrat Party has any intelligent at all.

[Dr Bruce]

I hope this is just a last desperate throw of the dice by the Anti-Democracy forces. The PDRC have killed before when they believe there was a chance of them being attacked.

Now we have even Red Shirt leaders calling for reforms before elections. Of course being sociopaths, they just don't want to reform themselves.

I do believe the REDS have more chance to be violent than the DEMS. As history shows thus already. Isnt it funny though how you siezed the .chance of this and another OP to attack the PDRC.

I believe that it is called self defence when someone attacks an attacker like you stated. If not then self preservation may be a better term. I know that if i was certain someone was going to attack me that i would prepare myself for this and either initiate a confrontation when it was not expected or have a plan in ready to fight back with more force than given.

The Thai political situation is more of a circus than most of the tenuous states around the world. pretty soon the Chinese will be sending in troops to monitor the situation. Just as the US and Russia send their troops around to "monitor" unstable countries. China has geographical privilege here.

Thank you for rejoining Thai Visa.

You state that the red shirts are child killers. There is no evidence to support that statement. Although there was an incident involving a violent episode where children died, there has been no evidence presented that redshirts were involved. Despite the initial accusations, no substantive evidence has been given. One would think that the people who made the accusations would have followed through and not let the matter drop.

[Eric Loh]

The only incident at the meeting was the mad monk and his followers demanding to put up their banner. Rest just an excuse for AV not attending, perhaps after receiving a phone reprimand from Uncle Suterp. Poor boy.

[chainarong]

Regardless of who you are or what you do , your life should not be under threat , it dose nobody any good to carry out any sort of attack, repercussions could destabilize the country altogether and civil war could breakout just from one stupid selfish person or persons,, therefore the EC could not guarantee security at the hotel venue for the meeting with the EC, this meeting should have been held at a more secure location , the lawlessness of this country needs to be told to the rest of the world then and only then when tourists stay away in droves will Thailand recognise it has a mental problem .

You clearly didn't even see the video and/or don't speak Thai. The scum bag said something a long the lines of "Good news, the PDRC got what they deserved." Immediately, Tida interrupted him and said that they would never wish violence on anyone. It was a despicable thing for the guy to say and despicable for people to cheer, but the leadership shut him up.

So what was the excuse for PTP leader Charupong not to attend? Or Banharn's group?

Well I looked at who your supporters were and automatically knew it would be an inane post. did you reads the article?

 
Everybody knows that if Abhisit fails to reach an agreement with Suthep, 
everyone will end up being held hostage," he said.

That sounds to me like they are not one and the same.

Reality is and I know it hurts you and your supporters is that Suthep and Yingluck Thaksin are the two that need to reach an agreement for the welfare of the Nation.

If he doesn't I do.

Who do you think killed them?

Let me see here now we have a group of protestors calling for peaceful protests and another one threatening civil war separation of the red shirt land from the country. Now who would be likely to do such a horrible thing. Who has a record of instigating violence.

Gosh Gee so hard to figure out.

[Time Traveller]

Probably a democrat purge of their leadership. Since they don't bother to run in elections, his politician opponents wouldn't care to take any notice of the little puppy dog.

You are advocating that the anti government protestors sink to the level of the red shirts. and indiscriminately kill and intimidate any one who does not bow down to Thaksin. A real nice fellow you turned out to be.

How about the picture of the red shirt holding his baby up to hide behind in the 2010 violence that the red shirts instigated. Or the red shirts open calling for a division of the country and raising 600,000 soldiers and stockpile weapons. Was that to be soldiers of Christ and hand out Bibles as being their weapons. I think not. I think bloodshed was on their mind. But it is a free country and you are welcome to believe any kind of nonsense you wish to believe. No need to look at the reality.

Leave us not forget the 20 to 30 red shirts who beat a monk on a cane. You are running with the lowest.

Dunno, is chronic loss of elections fatal?

[aussieinthailand]

So just who gave the orders to the military to open fire on men woman and children 2010??? Hypocrite.

Not all PTP support violence, Not all red's support violence, and I suspect Not all Dem's or Suthep's followers support violence.

So if you like having some kind of credibility, stop spewing your "red shirt child killers" line and try a far more accurate violent extremist groups on all sides are the ones who should be locked away forever.

How about the same batch serial numbers found on M79 grenades that were found hidden by red shirts at the NACC that corresponded with those used at the Big C bombing where 2 other children were murdered and several other attacks on PDRC also.

Pretty damning evidence to me.

Of course, the whole thing can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, but that would take the Thai police to cooperate, and we all know they won't.

You know as well as I do that the red shirts have killed all those children.... we don't need proof, we just need brains.

Pathetic defense.

Don't think for a minute that the matter is dropped. Ask the families of the poor victims if they consider the matter dropped.... But they have certainly hit a wall regarding the police, and those will swing when the power shift is complete, and they will be made to suffer.

But I suppose you are loving the fact that the police are not actively investigating these atrocities. I suppose you think that is another victory for the reds... because the police are sided with them and therefore have 100% immunity from the most disgusting acts of violence....

But it is all being bottled up... Their day of retribution will come... No police investigation = red shirts.

but at least they start to recognize that reforms are necessary....a step in the right direction.

I do believe you misinterpreted what the red wa-ker was saying by 'reform the Dems and the EC'.... he was basically saying use violence against them until they think the way we want them to think.....

[gabruce]

To carry a poster/placard saying "To reform the country, first reform the Democrat Party and the Election Commission before elections'' is fine.

To post on facebook "The meeting has not started, waiting for Abhisit. Going to order brother Sangiem to shoot twice so they disperse and go home." is not okay. Then to say it's insignificant. Same. At least brother Sangiem didn't shoot. Expected behaviour from the pro-government and government. Issue threats to the opposition.

It sounds like the Democratic Party knows enough about the threat that a rookie policeman, fresh out of the academy could solve this case. However a seasoned detective might be required to trace the orders to where they originated, wherever that might be.
