UDD threatens court presidents with sedition charges



BANGKOK: -- The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship has threatened to file sedition charges against the presidents of the Supreme Court, Supreme Administrative Court, Constitutional Court and the Election Commission if they meet to discuss the nomination of an interim prime minister.

UDD chairman Jatuporn Promphan on Sunday urged red-shirt followers to be on the full alert to prepare for any untoward situation in case there is an attempt to nominate an interim prime minister.

Jatuporn said acting caretaker prime minister Niwatthamrong Bunsongphaisan had petitioned the Council of State challenging the legitimacy of the of election of Mr Surachai Liangboonlertchai as the Senate speaker last week.

The UDD, he added, would also lodge a complaint with Crime Suppression Division police to take action against Mr Surachai for colluding with 96 senators to stage the election of the Senate speaker last week.

It is going to take centuries for all these lawsuits and charges flying around to be heard when all this is over. Both sides are being crushed beneath a pile of suits and counter suits.

Crushed literally under dump trucks full of worthless paperwork! Better invest in more Eucalyptus farms this year.

I can understand their feeling if the elect an interim PM

but the above statement say they will file sedition charge is they also meet and say NO.

because it says if they meet to discuss

Guess the old saying

Say what you mean, not mean what you say should be applied

Speechless. Absolute pin the tail on the donkey legal intimidation.

[MGP]

Thexxxxxxxx is on bail with sedition charges, and he is threatening the court presidents with sedition charges. Funny circus!

The lawyers must be loving this.

Words fail me , are these people for REAL

The senate held an election to elect a speaker and because the one who won the democratic vote doesn't suit Jutaporn he calls the election a collusion.

That must be a new take on red democracy.

If our candidate doesn't win then it is collusion.

Presumably if the UDD favored candidate wins then it is a free and fair election.

How can they lose an election under those terms.

I bet they are. Let's just hope their not behind the scenes instigating everything so that they can have centuries of brisk business for themselves.

[thesetat2013]

This is the perfect time to be a lawyer. If only my wife had foreseen this and gone to law school our future would be secure as accomplished millionaires. Heheee!

The courts can't do this, that or the other but we can say and do whatever we want as we represent democracy.

With all the lawsuits being thrown about and the amount of year in year out paperwork required for visa extensions or visits to government offices you know who the real shadowy amart figures are pulling the strings- the 40 satang copy shop owners.....

[smedly]

This is our law and you are breaking it before we can make it up

All this crowd are doing is trying to confuse the situation with a pile of complete nonsense threats and intimidation again they show complete distain for the law

There are two clear facts

1. PTP did not elect a PM a CTPM or anything else closely resembling a PM - they couldn't legally do that, at best they elected a new party leader to replace the sacked Yingluc

2. The Senate needed a new speaker so the whole of the functioning Senate had an election to elect one - no foul there

These people either need to drop one or get off the pot and go home - shouting and making threats from a stage doesn't cut it

The majority of Thai people are sick and tired of the red bullies of the paymaster voicing their scripted vomit

It's time to petition the courts to have the whole PTP removed for defiance of the courts - notice Charlerm is now silent in case he incriminates himself as he got the sack last week

[ChrisY1]

Jutaporn would not know what the word Sedition means.......he's got the intelligence of a split pea!

[Thaiisnotrequired]

Jutaporn would not know what the word Sedition means.......he's got the intelligence of a split pea!

Now, now. Don't insult split peas.

[love1012]

....and to top it off hes got the red shirts filing charges for non payment of their bribe for turning up to the rally!!!

[GeorgeO]

Thexxxxxxxxxxxxx is on bail with sedition charges, and he is threatening the court presidents with sedition charges. Funny circus!

Yes, the irony is just wonderful ... but one wonders, if they are going after virtually every court in the land, exactly which court are they going to file these charges with...?

The way to elect a Prime Minister is for:

Elections to be called

Parties to campaign

The population to Vote.

The country to respect the mandate of the elected.... however grudgingly as with Maggie in England or Bush, Obama etc. Nobody has universal approval.

Cancelling elections, overthrowing governments, planning to install Sutheps Puppets is sedition... Even if it is your good people who are trying to organise it.

They should be meeting with the EC and setting out ways that elections can be held, anything else is just plotting and working on the overthrow of the elected Government.... again!

That's their way-they also threatened not to accept a ruling made by the CC regarding Yinhluck...so if the court had found her to be innocent, would they oppose the rulong??

Well after all, the reds know their bit about sedition.

can we assume that came out of CAPO funding - and I'm being serious

[dinger]

So where do you go to pay your 200bt fine for sedition? Seems to be working for Sutep

We could offer up the highly qualified "Court of Thai Visa" to hear the case. The Toad will be comfortable here as facts and relevance are not needed to draw a conclusion.

Sane warning for this insane times.

Sounds like my annual visa applications at CM Immigration. How they ever make it Bangkok I'll never know.

Interesting. Someone facing terrorist charges, threatens to file sedition charges if state agencies dare to meet and discuss something he doesn't like. The same man who is very lucky to still be out on bail waiting his court appearances. Yet he, and his colleagues not only meet and talk about treason but then go on stage and advocate it.

There is no shame, no morals and absolutely no truth in Thai politics. Little enough in most politicians but this is one area where the Thais really do lead the rest.

MiL called from Isaan this morning. They only get red TV news. She was saying how poor Yingluck had been so badly treated when she hasn't done anything wrong; how Yingluck is nice and kind and so wants to pay all the farmers, But those nasty protesters and their backers stopped her. There is a real crank up of the pro Thaksin / Shin propaganda up there - and as usual totally one sided very economical with the truth statements. But, these people are poorly educated, receive only the information the reds want them to receive and have no real understanding of what's really going on. They don't know billions and billions of baht have gone missing or read Forbes and see the Shin's increased their own wealth 450% whilst PTP in office.

I feel really sorry for them because 99% of the ones I know up there are hard working decent honest nice respectful people; and its sickening to see them lied to and ruthlessly exploited by the side they think will look after them,

The senate held an election to elect a speaker

Illegally. The Royal Decree convening the special Senate Session didn't mention the selection of Senate Speaker/President on the agenda. It's mandate was to endorse the new member of the NACC and the appointment of Administration court specialists, and that's it. They didn't need to elect a speaker, Surachai was deputy Speaker and chaired the meeting as such - he was the one who allowed the eletion to go ahead even though it wasn't on the Royally decreed agenda. If they needed a Speaker (not a deputy Speaker) to hold the meeting, the meeting could not have been held. Sorry to disabuse you, you complain about the PTP not following rules? It doesn't get much higher than a Royal Decree.
