Jatuporn and Nattawut arrested



BANGKOK: -- United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) leader Jatuporn Phromphan and Nattawut Saikur were detained by soldiers in Samut Sakhon province while they were on a trip to the Rajabhakti museum park in Hua Hin.

No charge was given yet by the military officers.

Jatuporn earlier in the morning said they were going to the museum park just as tourists to visit the place to pay respect to the statutes of the seven kings, and not to investigate the corruption scandal.

He said that the National Anti-Corruption Commission has planned an inspection trip to the park to probe into alleged irregularities involved in the construction, adding that his visit today was just ordinary trip.

SAMUT SAKHON — Soldiers whisked away Redshirt leaders this morning while they were en route to conduct their own inspection of alleged corruption at the Rajabhakti Historical Park in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan province.

Nattawut Saikua and Jatuphon Prompan, two leaders of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship, or UDD, were reportedly detained by the military at about 10am this morning around the Mahachai area of Samut Sakhon province, southwest of Bangkok.

It's unclear where the two have been taken to as of press time, or what law they may have been accused of violating.

"or what law they may have been accused of violating".

not that a little detail like that will deter the usual suspects on this forum - I see a few have leapt in already. Arrested for being in charge of a mindset differing to the junta, perhaps?

If anybody wishes to reply disagreeing with me please consider the recent demonstration by the the monk Issara in your excuses justification.

As much as I despise the individuals concerned, please tell me what they have actually done wrong. Before the anti-red shirt mob start making lists, I mean now, as in today. What have they done wrong by attempting to visit the supposed park? Misuse of section 116 of the Penal Code perhaps.

[EnglishJohn]

LMAO - clearly an attempt to shift attention from their terrorist plot to assasinate the PM and others. They are doing the exact thing they accuse the government of doing. What a pair of hypocrites.

Why would they not wait until tomorrow after the report is published to see what the official position is first ?. It makes no sense.

[smedly]

Two vile people and their choice for a day trip rather interesting but the government needs to explain the reason for the arrests

I agree with everything you say here. I am another who would like to see folk in the monkey house for their actions and words but not for going on holidays.

Maybe they are part of the mysteriously elusive 9 miscreants that the junta are looking for in the disrupting the important bike event? That way they could share an exercise yard with one of the other charged folk who has been KK prison for a while

I disagree with you for a start. I don't make any excuse.

A demonstration by 200 people compared with a man calling for the destruction of a city. What is your excuse for that?

Perhaps they were arrested for breaking the terms and conditions of their bail. You DO know that they out on bail,don't you.

One of the terms that they agreed to was not to be involved in ANY public demonstrations.

How can you justify a man who freely admitted to asking the Redshirts to bring a million bottles to Bangkok where he would supply the gasoline to burn Bangkok to the ground and that HE, personally would take the responsibility. He never did take the responsibility though.

The videos are still out in Youtube land.

Ok, so TWO men, who happen to be Red Shirts, are going to the park, and the Army arrests them. For what????

But you have a mad Monk, who is about as Buddhist as my dog, leads a group of 20+, (even though the LAW says no more than 5!) to protest at the American Embassy, and no one even blinks.

Does the term "Double Standards" ring any bells????

This government is totally disgusting and pathetic.

[Somtamnication]

Made my day!

[harada]

I'm don't know how many so called red shirts there are (I'm a white singlet) but you would think that they would be able to at least find a couple of people with half a brain to represent them.

[Prbkk]

Another ridiculous over-reaction from a govt that appears to be as strategic as a rabbit caught in the headlights..

[Thailand]

Irrespective of who they are lets hope there is a legitimate reason for their arrest, if there is not we are moving down a dangerous road.

[Mango Bob]

Just part of the self selected PM plans to bring happiness to the people and reconciliation.

It has certainly made me happy today.

[slapout]

When you consider the types they say they represent in action, I doubt that they would care if they were

brain dead, as they may not see any difference between thamselves and the leaders. Its all one big family of incompetant layabouts,

with a arm and hand stretched stretched out, palm up as they just cannot accept that people need to work, earn a living, and

contribute to society, which does include your own family (mother) in one case.

[worgeordie]

The army should have said "Nothing to see just move along",

hope they have been taken away for a long attitude adjustment

session,

[Chang_paarp]

According to the interweb, they were arrested mid interview with the journalist left behind with a new/different story to file.

These two appear to suffer from a common complaint of their ilk; the ability to change feet whilst still standing.

[jacky54]

Going to a park is a very serious offence, on a par with fb comments, 30 years (death sentence) at least, what do these people think this country is, the land of the free?

A post containing some dangerous comments has been removed as well as the replies.

"LMAO - clearly an attempt to shift attention from their terrorist plot to assasinate the PM and others."

Has that been proven yet John, or is this inside information you get from your elite sources?

"They are doing the exact thing they accuse the government of doing."

And what is that, John?

" What a pair of hypocrites"

John, now you're obsessing again.

"Why would they not wait until tomorrow after the report is published to see what the official position is first ?"

The junta has had numerous positions on this subject, and none of them have even been remotely believable so maybe that's why, John.

"It makes no sense."

You forgot to add "to me", John. A lot that makes sense to most of us is clearly beyond your comprehension.

obviously not quality tourists

Please lock them away.

Yes, absolutely, but for proper convictions for proper criminal charges, in a proper court of law. Not for vague charges of convenience under S44 or LM stuff at a military court. Make it clear and definite for things that will still be understood and still stand scrutiny in 5 or 10 years time. Otherwise the martyr syndrome which is inevitable, will just be all that stronger. I have had it up to here with these sorts of people saying or doing terrible things and then excuses or corny interpretations being applied to make it like it never happened. "Bring a litre of petrol each...... etc etc" was one that didn't get the correct response at the time and was easily worth a long stretch on bread plain rice & water.

The pair are under bail for terrorism charge since 2010 !

IMO, Thailand has been going down that dangerous road for the past year or so......and getting more oppressive on the way.
