Nasty nasty Jatuporn, slap on the wrist 2 years aka bail and free to go.... never ever do something nasty nasty again....

DEFAMATION SUIT
Jatuporn sentenced to 2 years jail for insulting Abhisit

BANGKOK: -- The Criminal Court sentenced redshirt leader Jatuporn Prompan for two years in jail for insulting former Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva in a speech five years ago.

The court considered that Jatuporn's speech on October 11, 2010 at the Victory Monument and on October 17 of the same year against Abhisit were not the truth and could thus be considered as defamatory.

Jatuporn is ordered to post the court's sentence in the Thaipost, Matichon and Daily News newspapers for seven days.

Jatuporn's lawyer asked for bail for his client and submitted Bt20,000 as a guarantee. He said Jatuporn would certainly submit the case to Appeals Court.

The master in Dubai, still has some pocket 20,000 Baht money left and case closed...

Great news lets hope he goes to jail for 2 years. So many more red thugs that can be jailed. Without the junta this would never have been possible. They would not dare to touch him as he would release the red war buffaloes to do damage. Now that those are taken out of the game the judges can finally pass judgement without fear.

What did he say as defamation to get 2 years?

He said that the former premier was suppressing the protesters.

The protesters at the time were fighting to have elections.

And the Red Shirts are going down right and left. Keep knocking 'em down newly NON-elected government and you will never have a reconciliation.

"...finding him guilty of defaming former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva..."

Defamation laws are one of the most unjust laws in this country in that they send people to jail for "words". In Western countries this just amounts to a civil lawsuit involving money.

Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.......

And the Red Shirts are going down right and left. Keep knocking 'em down newly NON-elected government and you will never have a reconciliation.

I agree with your view on the defamation laws, but this animal Jatuporn is a special case and for the good of the country should be locked up, for good.

If reconciliation means allowing people like Jatuporn to get away with crimes that any "ordinary" Thai would be imprisoned for, then it is not worth it.

Same goes for any of the redshirts, UDD members, the entire Shin regime and any other person on any political persuasion who thinks they are above the law. And yes, you rabid red fans, that does include the yellow fellows.

Seems we are still waiting for yellows to be prosecuted from the airport closures, other government building takeovers and the slaughter of 90 people. How was Abisit not charged with "dereliction of dudy" for that one? Once again no statement of what Japuporn ACTUALLY said for to receive this sentence. Fascism is alive and well with the above posters.

I know I know...the "reds" are guilty of damaging a sacred shopping mall.

If re-education doesn't work, send the opposition leaders to jail.

Rubbish.

He has already been out on bail for this offense for nearly 2 years under the PTP government.

In addition Jatuporn has NEVER been a proper leader though he might like to think so.

With a bit of luck Nattawut Siakua will be next

What did he say as defamation to get 2 years?

He got 1 year for lie 1. about Abhisit ordering the shooting of protesters and a second year for lie 2. delaying Thaksin's amnesty - its probably a good thing that he didn't stay on stage all evening ranting away as he might have ended up with life imprisonment!!!

2 years for defamation, but nothing for the slaughter of civilians by the military, which has been proven by Thai courts.

And no issues for the months of vitriol and lies from the PRDC stage.

Oh, the justice! Oh, the reconciliation!

You need to talk to Thaksin about that. He was a past master at slapping defamation suits of billions of baht around when he was in Thailand.

Do you have a link about the slaughter by the military which is proved by the Thai courts?

AFAIR they military were absolved and none were charged by the PTP government under Yingluck, unless you know better and can point it out to me.

Of course if you were talking about Abhisit and Suthep they are still in Thailand waiting for their time in court to be proved guilty of murder which they were accused of.

If re-education doesn't work, send the opposition leaders to jail.

Have a little read about the self appointed red shirt leaders past actions and wealth accumulation.

One or two other trials on the go for him.

More a Thaksin enforcer than political leader. Ball less of course, like all the Thakisn leadership.

What does the red shirt leadership group have in common with the current government?

That's right, neither were elected.

so what did he say? anyone know?

so what did he say? anyone know?

Anybody care?

I see all usual Yellows out and celebrating here again as usual even though you don't seem to know what he said. Seems the lot of you blindly idolize the junta like many north Koreans do. Any opposing voice must be jailed seems to be your mantra. I see the one-sided purge continues.

I'm not a "usual yellow" and I most certainly would not support the reds. But the current administration which you refer to as a junta, has done more good for this country in such a short time, than all the politicians have done in the past ten years or more. There are many cases outstanding of wrongs committed by the previous administration. We will be hearing about judgements on the activities of all the lesser ex-MPs as time goes by I'm sure.

who got 85 years in on fraud charges, which later reduced to 20

and still running free?

What did he say as defamation to get 2 years?

He said that the former premier was suppressing the protesters.

A protest that coincidentally kicked off days after Thaksin had his ill gotten gains seized.

Yup - all about elections.

Strange thing is that Abhisit was charged with murder under the previous administration. Raises two issues:

1. That case never went to trial, so we don't really know for sure what Abhisit's role in the crackdown was
2. Given the charges laid against him back then, does that mean that everyone involved in that process (investigators, politicians, prosecutors, etc.) are also guilty of defamation?

I swear to god, the next person who writes 'gaol'...

I swear to god, the next person who writes 'gaol'...

gaol gaol gaol

It would seem the topic covers TWO court cases.

1. guilty of defaming in October 2009

2. guilty of defaming in October 2010

A wee bit confusing

With all this guy has done, will he really do any time.

Jatuporn is leaving for Cambodia, Yingluck to follow. The Junta is out for blood with a vengence.

An inflammatory post has been removed as well as a reply.

The above is one of many of the cases that ruled the military were responsible. Please do keep up with the news.

Could you please be specific what good changes the junta has made?

Ok I admit they have created bike paths.

Motorcycle taxis are back to overcharging with the old rates, beach vendors are back, jet ski rip offs still happening. Koa Tao investigation with daily updates to PM completed. My retail business sustained huge losses due to curfew with the soldiers on motorbikes ordering it shut early for the first 2 weeks of the coup. Please tell me what they have accomplished more in the 7 months than last gov. in 10 years than a massive one sided political culling?
