UDD leader Jatuporn sentenced to 2 years in jail for defaming former PM Abhisit

[djjamie]

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.

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.

It is refreshing that you don't defend terrorism if yellows committed it. Like you I hope all terrorists are in jail. Not just the red shirts.

I will never downplay terrorist killings by stating that vehicle accidents killed more people. That would show me as heartless and uncaring. I would never state that people should move to a new province if they don't like living next to terrorists. That is a PTP fanboy trait.

You are correct. ALL terrorists should be in jail. Unfortunately that does not leave many UDD members nor PTP ministers on the streets.

[djjamie]

My mate Jatuporn?

I'd better start baking a cake (with a file in it) for him then....

My wife didn't speak to me for a week after taking this pic....

You should have said your name was "accountability"

It is one way to see a UDD leader beat Usain Bolts 100 meter record.

Speaking out in Thai politics could cause one to be arrested, jailed, kangaroo court, sentenced to years of imprisonment...or worse (found dead after committing suicide)...very dangerous business...

We are not talking about how ugly the guy is...how loud or foul mouthed he was...we are talking about political revenge for calling another politician out...that is part a partial of being a democracy...which they still were at the time of this incident...

This country continues it's military march down the sewer...

Abhisit sued him for defamation and it's now been proven to be defamation, but of course some will instantly yell political revenge.

Perhaps you would like to research:

- How many times the paymaster sued people for libel etc.

- How many times jatuporn deliberately played doctored audio tapes to the red masses. But no doubt you will claim any legal case on that would also just be political revenge.

[rubl]

so let's be clear about the court bias :

• it's OK to call Thaksin a republican if you're yellow
• it's not OK to point out the true about a PM if you're red

So, let's be clear about your truth distortion.

. it OK to call Thaksin a republican independent of your shirt color, as long as Thaksin's lawyer do not file a defamation charge against you.

. It's not OK to point out the truth if you are unable to prove that that is the truth. Even then it's a bit tricky because of THai defamation laws.

Keep in mind that Thaksin, Abhisit, Sondhi, Jatuporn, Suthep have won and got rejected defamation suits.

<script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script>

What did he say as defamation to get 2 years?

Can you read?

what he said is not in the OP

The OP #1 only has

"The court handed the imprisonment term with no extension when he accused the former premier of ordering the suppression of protesters, and of attempt to delay amnesty bill for fugitive premier Thaksin Shinawatra."

To literally quote what Jatuporn said would make you almost automatically guilty as Jatuporn has been found guilty already.

To ask for the text seems just like baiting, asking someone to commit an offence. That's not nice, my dear chaps.

Yes I can read... He did say the true , Abisit ordered the killing, or in case you state hid did not, please let us know who is the one who ordered the soldiers to start the killing.

Interestingly the grenade lobbing fun started around the end of February, 2010 when a court ruled to confiscate 42 or so billion of Thaksin's ill gotten gains. Strange it would seem that the peaceful protesters, not terrorists knew nothing, heard nothing, saw nothing, told nothing.

BTW the first post in this topic relates to October, 2009. If I remember correctly that's a bit before the 2010 chaos with gunfire and grenade lobbing fun.

Getting late?

Can't articulate a rebuttal…..Some old fashioned PTP and UDD condescension instead? Your depth of insight and debating skills are breathtakingly lacking.

Love your work….

EDIT - If it releases your frustration then by all means go ahead. I know that some frustrations extend into violence with some PTP supporters so this works out so much more peacefully...

Take care my dear friend and have a great evening.

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

In this case, you can't fix stupid. His mouth runs while his brain sleeps.

Jatuporn truly seems to have a neurological problem where he speaks before the brain is engaged. A frontal lobotomy may cure this problem. We could then say "two flew over the cuckoo's nest".

• it's not OK to point out the true about a PM if you're red

Wrong. Some reds have had defamation cases against them dismissed recently.

The whole defamation laws and practices are ludicrous. Thaksin and Tarit in particular initiated them like confetti or used them as threats every time someone said anything they didn't like. Even non Thais use them - ask Andrew Drummond or Andy Hall.

PTP have and their supporters whine court bias every time a ruling goes against their agenda. They must never ever be wrong or do anything wrong and absolutely work perfectly within the law and all procedures to achieve the innocence they proclaim - if only.

Right. There may be cases against one side or the other which are dismissed, but roll up the numbers and the court bias is obvious.

Or are you saying that there isn't one?

In this case, how is it defamation to state that Abhisit ordered a crack down on protesters?

January alone;

12^th of January - The Election Commissioner (EC) on Wednesday decided to throw out several complaints made against alleged election misconducts by former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra during the most recent general election in February, 2014.

13^th of January - The Administrative Court on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit filed by 28 Bangkok and Nakhon Pathom residents against former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra in which they demanded compensation for damages from alleged mismanagement of floodwaters by her government in 2011.

21^st of January - Former Pheu Thai MP Karoon Hosakul was granted bail after he was found guilty of defaming former Democrat MP Taenkhun Chit-isara

22^nd of January - The Criminal Court on Thursday acquitted two former ministers and a member of the Pheu Thai party of defamation charges lodged against them by former finance minister Korn Chatikavanich

27^th of January - The Criminal Court has dismissed a defamation charge lodged against former chief of Department of Special Investigation Tarit Pengdit by former deputy prime minister Suthep Thuagsuban.

I remember in December when the yellow leader was sentenced to 20 years jail and the red leaders where free on bail you still said the courts were biased. That has as much logical drive as a PTP supporter stating they support 15 principles of democracy…while only defending elections.

Yes, yes it is a conspiracy just like the World bank, Moody's, UNHCR, Human Rights Watch, the Environmentalists, the corn farmer, rubber farmers, rice farmers, medical association, rural teachers, academics, Supa, global economists, IMF, private banks, GSB, the EC, AoT, the courts, military, bangkok middle class, business owner, state enterprise staff, Buddhist monks, civil servants, labor unions, Green Politics group, Thai Constitution Protection Association, The Thai press, NIDA poll, Bangkok Poll were a conspiracy when it did not suit the PTP agenda.

​Another example opt the PTP denouncing anyone (in this case the courts) when it does not suit your agenda.

Get over it. realize your being played and move on.

Who was it then that ordered the suppression of the protestors?

[djjamie]

Jatuporn never said ahbisit was suppressing the protestors.

He accused Abhisit of "ordering the killings of protesters and preventing Thaksin from seeking a royal pardon"

You ability to throw facts aside and make up a story so you can facilitate a response is admirable yet misguided.

BUT when the red shirts threatened to blow up LPG truck, grenade attacks at Thai banks, attacked Thai charity with grenades, stormed parliament, attacked NPP and TPI buildings with M16 and grenades, (this was around the time tear gas and bullets were fired by the soldiers), stormed police hospital, stormed TV station (people even questioned Ahbisits control of the soldiers after the lack of resistance they offered the red shirts on this occasion), bomb attacked on electricity pylons, 2 police taken hostage, destroyed CCTV cameras, dumped tyres on sky train track you feel that an accused terrorist in the form of Jatuporn should be defended?

​You fabricated a response to defend an accused terrorist so I think this conversation is closed. Or do you have some more"make believe" stories to present to me?

[Fatty123]

He's not my cup of tea (another faux champion of the poor), but this conviction amounts to jailing political opponents. What about the stuff said by Suthep and co re: their political opponents during their rallies? Oh, that's different isn't it?

True or not? That is the rebuttal I made and it is fact.

As for Suthep. When we have articles about him I would love to discuss it. But until we do lets stick to the subject otherwise my short life will turn into a long bitter life and before I know it I will be 70 years old and posting comments on TVF denouncing and belittling every poster that I disagree with!

What is your problem? Why would I want to accuse you of being 98? Are you trying to start some sort of confrontation. Personally I don't give a damn if your 98 or 8 yrs old and I don't give a damn if your gay and childless.

If others have accused you of this and your feeling insecure and alone don't take your hissy fits out on me as I have not made a comment or accused you of anything.

What you have difficulty in seeing is that your perception of court bias is caused by your own bias. The larger number of court cases decided against the reds is simply explained - they commit more crimes, and are more blatant about their crimes because of the expectation that they will not be prosecuted while they are in power.

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!

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.

Yes,and unlike Hero Thaksin, Abhisit and Suthep, didn't due do a runner out of the Country!

They have already had their day in court Bill and the charges have been dismissed :

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/755511-thai-court-dismisses-murder-charges-against-former-pm-abhisit/page-3

BANGKOK, 28 August 2014 (NNT) – The Criminal Court has dismissed charges of murder and abuse of power against former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and his ex-deputy in connection with the military crackdown on protesters in 2010.

As they should have been for any right thinking person knows the charges were politically motivated in an attempt to get Abhisit and Suthep to cave in and go along with Thaksin.

They proved they have more courage and principals then the coward in Dubai for they told him to go get stuffed they would never go along with his attempted take over of the country.

Thank you for the reminder.

I must have missed that or more probably I had forgotten.

Speaking out in Thai politics could cause one to be arrested, jailed, kangaroo court, sentenced to years of imprisonment...or worse (found dead after committing suicide)...very dangerous business...

We are not talking about how ugly the guy is...how loud or foul mouthed he was...we are talking about political revenge for calling another politician out...that is part a partial of being a democracy...which they still were at the time of this incident...

This country continues it's military march down the sewer...

Actually we are speaking about things that he said a few years ago and was out on bail for. It is not political revenge but applying the rules of law.

If Jatuporn had spent a little time thinking and instead of shouting he had kept his peace he may still have been free.

It was his choice and I would assume that he still thinks that he can do or say what he likes without punishment.

I doubt that he will learn anything from it. If you compare Jatuporn and Nattawut together you can see that Nattawut is smarter by far as he got the rewards from Thaksin and Jatuporn got pushed aside.

[siampolee]

At press time Jatupornn was consulting his lawyer to seek temporary release on bail.

Strange, it was and is still noticeable that when the Red Shirt pawns were sent of to prison Jutuporn and the rest of his gang didn't ask for lawyers to seek the luxury of bail for the Red Shirt pawns who are still incarcerated.

Nor did Jutuporn and his self serving clique act then and even up to now to do anything to aid those Red Shirt pawns.

Ah well Jutuporn now you are at last discovering the delights of being a rich corrupt politicians plaything the very epitome of a ''catspaw.'' .

Note too the absence of comments from the once vocal Chalerm.

No doubt his ear medicine no longer works thus selective self preservation deafness has set in ,

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.

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.

Nattawat's time will come he is also on bail for serious charges and Nattawat transport is implicated in problems with rice being moved around.

That his transport Co was involved while he was a minister points to conflict of interest at the very least.
