In january 2011 it was still abhisit and suthep running the country, the winning elections for the reds was later on, in april. So they had a chance to prosecute. Also it's already over 2 months after the coup. The cąses of LM are prosecuted on the spot or fairly quickly, within days of being commited.

This case might indicate, that's the charges might be trumped up, fabricated and wouldn't hold up in a civilian court. The court martial, under which he now will be prosecuted is completely a different matter, with closed doors and no right to appeal. Also a gagged up press won't be able to report his defence, as it would breach the law

It more likely suggests something about your own detachment from reality

This case might even indicate the truth, imagine!

BTW the 'winning elections for the reds in april' sound somewhat strange. For one the (Thaksin thinks) Pheu Thai party won (with their vote buying election promises), not the reds and certainly not for the reds. Also the general election was on the 3rd of July, 2011.
