By Digital Content



BANGKOK, Aug 25 -- The Crime Suppression Division (CSD) is waiting to see if the military will file an additional charge against Veera Somkwamkid and other activists, saying that they will be released in seven days if no more charges are made.

Deputy CSD Commander Pol Col Prasobchok Prommoon today inspected the detention of Mr Veera and seven other activists who were arrested during their walk campaign for Thai energy reform near the Victory Monument yesterday.

Pol Col Prasopchoke said the judge advocate was investigating the case and collecting evidence.

Initially, the group was considered violating the martial law and an order of the National Council for Peace and Order that banned a political gathering of more than five people.

If the military does not file any additional charges, the Mr Veera and his group will be released within seven days of their detention.

If there are other criminal charges from the military, police will seek permission from the military court to extend their detention. (MCOT online news)

So it has been just days since Thaksin instructed his acolytes to sit tight and do nothing that allows the junta to point the finger at them should the current regime begin to falter and we see the first public cracks in the right wing coalition that assumed power in May. If they can't even keep their own team together .....

Exactly what is Veera's political stance?

Deep down I believe he is a Red Shirt supporter, using this Energy Reform as an excuse to find trouble with PM Gen Prayuth the Great Supreme Leader of the Nation.

Can I give you a hint? Veera is one of the hero's that was released from prison in Cambodia for spying. ( that temple dispute)

Sondhi bailed out for a bag of chips, Veera to be released: the messages you're sending out are not very hopefull, NCPO, or is it to justify the 'special leniance' (for the sake of 'reconciliation', is it?) that will be shown soon for PT/UDD and red goons? When was, is, or is to be, the property title for that nice plot of prime land in the center Rangoon to be issued?
